One day

I will not think you know everything

Or even as much as me

Or maybe much at all

I will be disappointed

In you

In myself

For trusting you

I will have to change my thinking

Realise I am the adult

I am the one taking care of you

I don’t hate you because you’re weak

Or because you’re scared

Or because you’re wrong

I told my Dad: I know you’re older than me in this life, I grant you that.

But who knows how long it’s taken our souls to get here?

There was one life I lived where I was a dog. I was owned by a family and they were very good to me.

And there was another life, when I was a car. And this man drove around inside of me, just going to different appointments and stuff. And then he got rid of me, and I was in a junkyard for years. Just years and years sitting there, underneath all of these other crushed cars, because even though they crushed me into a cube, my soul was still stuck inside.

And then in another life I was like a… a small bubble of foam on a wave coming to shore, and the wave broke, and I burst, and that was it, it was very quick

But before that I was a small stream, for centuries

And in another life I was a mortal girl

Which is this life

And in this life, I finally have the power to speak

After thousands of years

I have a mouth

I have words

So if you don’t mind

Mom

Dad

I’m going to speak

I’m going to shout

When I become a human

I’m going use some words
