Why do you deny me?


Why do you deny me? You know I'm here. Walking around pretending not to hear. hah keep trying! You think you're so smart, walking around like an errand boy. Jump high, run left. You're never get anywhere that way. stop holding your emotions in; let me come out! Sitting in this place is like is like looking for water in a drout. You know what to do. Why wont you do it? or do you still live by the restrictions of society. The restrictions that tell you that you're to young or too dark. As if they've knew the true you from the start.You're not property; you're a human being. Yet, this is how you chose to be seen. Letting others live for you. Making decisions not truth. Be respectful, don't say a word. Only fools think that's how they'll be heard. You know who you are, stop trying to break the mirror. I'll always be here. Till the day you see clearer.
