No mom
I do not want to throw away
That 'piece of junk'
If i do
Do away with it
It will be gone.
If it's gone
It wont be there
The way it has been
For the past few years.
If it's not there
Something will be different.
That difference will only remind me
Things are changing
So No.
I do not want to throw away that
Piece of familiarity.
