Needy

Why you gotta be so needy?
Promise me you don't be greedy
and pass your boredom off as thirst
or little bumps as hurts far worse.
Cry to me and I'll believe you,
change your diaper, hold and feed you,
aware my "need" to be your hero
could feed greed, and that's my fear. Oh,
why this be so complicated?
And when will you be satiated?
You know, I can be selfish too,
and I have things I need to do
when this apparent growth spurt's through.
