What was i gonna say?


“I knew you were going to say that”

Say What?

What was I gonna say Mom?

My Opinion That i never share.

Or did i say something you don’t consider fair?

You're always offended,

Never say the right thing, do I?

Oh but that's not fair either,

Because you didn't directly say it.

But you don't have to say something for it not to be heard.

You start saying small things to make me be quiet

In hopes I'll apologize to make you feel better.

In hopes it will make you feel bigger?

I get you don't love me like Victoria.

But Why, what have I done or Said.

So what was I gonna say?

Obviously something you wouldn't like.

Because it was reason for you to have a specific attitude.

The kind that if i were to show that you would yell?

Because god forbid I stand up for myself.

Because god forbid I get more freedom.

Because god forbid I complain about the excessive amount of responsibility.

Because god forbid I become my own person

What was I going to Say?

You know what nevermind,

I don't want to hear my mind come out of you mouth.
