My Son Won’t Talk To Me
I know he’s struggling
I’m struggling with him too
There’s much he’s keeping from me
And making me real blue
It’s hard I know at his age
To admit he is having trouble
I was there once upon a time
Living inside my own tiny bubble
Afraid to speak up
For fear of embarrassment
Trying to soldier on and appear
Like I’m on a strong, quake-proof pavement
When actually I’m filled
With loathsome self-doubt
Will I make it through the day
Or simply burn out?!
That was me but now it’s him
What’s keeping my son in a bind?
Why isn’t he telling me
What’s going on in his mind?
They say the relationship
Comes first, then the rules
But how can I build the first
When he’s silent through and through?
Just when I thought
I had this parenting thing nipped
I’m back to square one again
My heart once more torn and ripped!
My son won’t talk to me
The way he did before
What’s to become of us?
When will this glacier thaw?!
