[hometext] => This reflects on an arguement/conversation my mom and I had on the way home.
[bodytext] => You asked me about my sins. It was just a normal conversation Between the two of us, Something that doesn't usually happen Because I actively ignore you. But once the topic came up, You wouldn't let it go. So I spoke: "I have sins. I just don't talk to you about them." You deny that I have any, That I was "Your perfect little girl" And would never do anything wrong. How "Wrong" you were. I deny your words, Reply with hidden, Desperate earnestness, That you don't know everything Because I never told you anything. So you ask me: "What 'sins' have you committed then?" I falter, Unwilling to tell you, My mother, What it is I've done wrong; All the things I've done wrong. To change the subject, I instead intervene: "Will you tell me your sins?" You falter, Unwilling to tell me, Your daughter, What it is you've done wrong; All the things you've done wrong. "That's what I thought."
