if I could talk

June 12, 2015

if I could talk

what would I say?

would I tell them

the truth?

it wouldn't matter

to them

I am "that kid"

"he's weird

he's fat

he's lazy

he's..."

he's Me

I am Me

I am much more

than "that kid"

but

I can't tell them

...

I could...

but

if I could talk

would anyone listen?

Something wrong with this poem?
