Talking

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.
