Talking

[pomes]

I'm trying to tell you I'm thirsty.
I'm not feeling tired or cold.
My nappy is not wet or dirty.
Why won't you admit you've been told?

I'm telling you, I just want water.
I don't want a toy or a cake.
I want a big drink. I'm your daughter.
How long does this "telling" thing take?

You're listening to me, I know it.
I can see that you're wondering why
You don't understand, though I show it -
I cry, and I cry, and I cry.
