a letter for my parents

If I told you,
would you listen?

No of course not.

If I wrote you a letter,
would you read it?

I doubt it.

If I painted a picture,
would you hang it up?

Not likely.

If i asked you a question,
would you answer?

Probably not.

I tried to tell you,
but your ears were closed.

I wrote it down,
you threw the letter in the trash.

I painted a picture,
You looked right through it.

I tried to ask for help
but it went in one ear and out the other.
