I'd like to tell you something
you'd never let me say,
a not-so secret something-
you'd just turn away.
You don't seem to see how hard I try,
you ignore the puddles of tears I've cried;
trying to be what you think I should,
losing myself in the wrong mental neighborhood.
The painful looks I shoot at you;

I see how she looks back at me,
we both realize the atrocity.
You think I'm stupid but I know,
we've been through so much
I can't bring myself to let go.
I know what's best, but I'm just too weak.
So this to you, I can never speak.

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN
