I am the problem
I am the problem?
I wonder what I did to make you upset.
I hear the scoffs as I walk past you, not knowing what I did wrong.
I see the annoyance in your face.
I want someone to tell me what I did.
I am the problem?
I pretend that I know so I do not have to ask.
I feel a sinking feeling in my stomach whenever I pass you.
I touch your shoulder, asking what I did.
I worry you will not answer.
I believe I did something wrong.
I am the problem?
I understand that you might never tell me.
I say I’m sorry for whatever I did.
I dream of you speaking to me again.
I try to push the sadness away.
I hope you forgive me.
I am the problem.
