That's Just What You Said
1/17/06
I cry
Asking for help
My parents say
"Just get over him
Concentrate on your studies
She's too emotional and weak
I can't believe you haven't gotten over him yet
A true Indian wouldn't never to do"
My little brother always laughs and says
"Oh no, she's gonna cry.
See, she's the baby, not me."
Then my best friend in the whole universe
Tells my other friends
"She's just overreacting"
And yet to me, he says naught.
Maybe you people are right
Or maybe it's a lie
I'm just wondering:
That's what you say
Bu did you ever say what you meant?
I'm too emotional?
Well, don't I play the piano?
Burn my ears in music's acid
Draw and sketch dark pictures
Quiet and always reading?
Writing poems-wanting others to understand?
Didn't you realize
The truth was right in front of you
And yet you want to look through it?
