Forgiveness

Forgive me mum,
I didn't mean it.
But you wouldn't listen, would you?
You're not listening now.
I know I shouted.
Verbal abuse, right?
And I'm sorry.
I'm not going to try and make up an excuse.
I don't have a justification.
But I do have an explanation.
There's this girl at school.
She's bullying me.
Yeah, right, you say.
Not interested. I am.
She's lying to everyone about me.
Oh? And who is this girl.
My best m8. She's spreading rumours about me, and teasing me.
What?! You're best m8 is such a sweet girl.
You mean she wouldn't do that?
Of course she wouldn't do that. You're a liar. This is just another
excuse of yours for shouting at me. Up to your room!
But mum...I'm not lying! She's the one that's lying!
Just go to bed, won't you? I'm too angry to deal with you.
YOU'RE AN IDIOT! WHEN DID I EVER LIE TO YOU!
GET TO BED! I won't have you shouting again. You're clearly over tired.
UP TO BED!

That girl is no longer my best m8. My friends don't like me, my family
reckons I lie and I'm feeling pretty low...
