Mrs. Potato Head
You never took the the time to understand me
Always nagging that I never did things “normally”
“It’s not that hard to start a conversation”
“Stop being so stuck up. You’re no better than these people”
I wanted to start that conversation,
I wasn’t being stuck up.
It’s just the thought of holding a conversation with an unknown individual sends chills down my back,
My hands begin shake, and
My heart begins to race.
I’m sorry I can’t do things like you.
I only know how to do things like me.
If you can’t take the time to learn about me, or pretend to care about me,
Why do I care so much about what you have to say?
I’m sorry I’m not Mrs. Potato Head.
