Sorry Mama

I have, once again, kept the change from that twenty dollars you gave me last week.
You were probably expecting something back, a five dollar bill at the least.
Unfortunately for you, my wallet is full.
So please, forgive me. I know I do this a lot.
But maybe you'll get lucky, find a rainbow and there will be gold in the pot.
Until then, I will keep saying how truly sorry I am.
But really, I have all this money so who gives a damn?
I mean, come on, I'm a teenager.
Don't you think I need it more than you do?

This was also an assignment for creative writing. The guidelines were to write a poem about something we should be sorry about, but just aren't.
