Turns out, I'm a monster
When he was 5, he told me to stop trimming the bushes; because he hated the way bushes screamed when I cut them.
Imagine my shock when Scientists found out recently plants scream when cut.
When he was 10, he said
"E=MC²," when you do the Math backwards has a "B" in it. I asked, "What's the B for?" & He said, (matter of factly)"Black Hole. Wherever Stars are born, there's a black hole nearby."
The Doctor said he was on a "Spectrum" when he was 12. I said,
"Oh, you mean he'll never hold a job or a woman & he'll be homeless @ 21 in a tent on the sidewalk crawling out of his skin when someone mows their lawn."
The doctor gave him medication; but he wouldn't take it because, quote:
"I can't hear the Stars sing in my dreams anymore when I take that garbage."
So, I'm a "Star Song killer" & I thought I was a fairly good person.
Turns out I'm a monster
& this kid is on borrowed time.
And I do know that makes me Dirt in the Eyes of God; but all I can say now is:
"Oh dear God, I meant well."
