She always told me to pray before I sleep
I knew how to pray but I didn't
I ignored and went to sleep.
She always told me to pray before meals
I knew how to pray but I didn't
I ignored and to ate
She always encouraged me to love schooling
'It's the only way to a better future'
I ignored and loved my 'unlovable'
She always insisted on thanksgiving
Even when I lacked everything
I ignored and left searing
She always told me to stand for an adult to sit
Even when aboard a train
I ignored and took my seat
She always discouraged me against girls till I grow
I knew what it meant to zip
I ignored and took it to grow
She always insisted not to dine with the wicked
Not alone walking in their ways
I ignored and took the trend
She always awoke me early on Sundays
Then prepared me for Sunday school
I ignored and ran from everything
I ignored
I ignored and ignored
I ignored even everything
I didn't know that I ignored
I didn't know what I ignored
Until when I was all alone
When I heard the siren surmount
That the world is full of everything
Everything that I ignored.
