P is for The Writing's On The Wall

The Writing's On The Wall

They crayon on the walls
She draws on her cigarette

They vie for her attention
She answers calls of nature

They need her strength
She can't help herself

They seek her guidance
She is lost

They don't understand
She cannot

They are innocent
She blames herself

They crayon on the walls
She draws on another cigarette
