never

By: Meghan Colleen Moffett

I never took your advice,
-too headstrong to listen.

I never tried my best,
-too stupid to recognize.

I never heard the truth,
-too ignorant to believe.

I never thought ahead,
-too childish to know.

I never wait to talk,
-too emotional to control.

I never say, "I love you,"
-too stubborn to admit that...
"I love you, daddy."
