Silently


Is it wrong to be annoyed?

I feel like it's all about you 

All the time

24/7 365

You never look at the good

Only verbalizing the bad

You say your life sucks

Is it bad that I don’t give a fuck?

At first, it was fine 

But now it's all the time

It gets annoying

Hearing you whine

You downplay what I'm going through

Saying I don’t have a clue 

That I have no room to talk

You belittle me and my experiences

You always bring it back to you

Making it clear I’m number two

I get it, life isn’t easy

But you never know what's a facade

You don’t care to prod

And figure out if anything is wrong

You always draw attention back to you

So I sit quietly

Just listening silently
