I know what I’m supposed to say But it doesn’t feel right. “I’ve lost my job” you say, “So get another one” I reply Another says “They don’t know what they’re missing” I should have kept my mouth shut. “The doctor said it’s serious” you say, “Maybe you should lose some blubber” Another says “just take your medicine and rest” I should have kept my mouth shut. “I don’t have time to see my kids, I’m simply far too busy” “Well make time” I reply “You’re doing what’s best for them” I should’ve kept my mouth shut. “My mother isn’t gonna make it” “That’s shit, but you’ll get through it” “She’s gone to a better place” I should’ve kept my mouth shut. “I’m having bad thoughts” she said, I said nothing. Two days later she was gone.
