i taught you to tie your shoelaces

i taught you to tie your shoelaces. your mother said you were too stupid to learn. i said that was ridiculous and that they should have just been patient with you. and i was so proud when you got the hang of it right away. i thought it proved something. but now i wish i did more. but now it seems like it was the only thing i did for you. but now you are so lost, and when i hear about how you are, all i can do is cry and think, but i taught you to tie your shoelaces.
