Basketball practice, you’re sitting outside

I want you to come in

You take another ride

I’m the last one left at school

You forgot to pick me up

Teacher drives to our house, we couldn’t wake you up

You’re yelling at my mom

I wish you wouldn’t shout

I stay here with my sister, trying to stay calm

You’re outside with your friends

Drinking your mind away

I wish that I could leave, but instead I have to stay

You a good dad, is always just a thought

The question, it seemed, would always remain

Cannot or will not?
