Maybe

I got home from a cc meet.
i didn't do too well.
started talking to my mom.
it all felt like hell.

she told me she was disappointed.
and the words sounded so rough.
she told me i need to try harder.
like i didn't try hard enough.

how would she know how hard i tried.
she didn't even care to go.
so how could she say that.
how would she know.

if at least she tried.
and she wanted to be there.
maybe i would have ran faster.
maybe i would have at least cared.
