Hear me out; listen to me
i'm begging you
just give me a moment
(silence)
i couldn't do it
it's my mother
standing right there
waiting for me to speak
or just to get it over with
to do what she was intending
to smack and spank
i have to save my self
think fast.....come up with stuff
(fear.........)
my head is full of thoughts
things to be said......stuffs
best excuses
(still quiet)
i started shaking
my eyes blinking
opened my mouth
to say something
but there was nothing
(she is waiting)
i see her staring at me
'i have to pee'
(finally)
i said something
(what? ? ? ? ?)
that wasn't the plan
but, that was what came out
(BANG!)
i heard it
like a loud bit
or a gunshot
her hand on my back
BANG!
