Why I'm So Me
I looked up to you because you were my first friend.
We'd one day grow old and get married, that was the plan.
Then there was that night when I told you I wasn't ready.
You stopped my words and said, "Come on, we'll take it slow and steady."
I pushed you away for all I felt was afraid.
You pulled me close and told me to start acting brave.
I struggled and twisted trying to not miss it.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
I scream so loud you can hear it on the streets.
You say "Shut up and dont be so weak!"
I take your words and use them right.
I lift my one hand up real high.
Back and SLAP right across your face.
If I couldve reacted fast enough it wouldve been another place.
To this day by that night I am scarred.
I never thought my best friend would try to go that far.
If I can't trust you then who can I trust?
That's why I keep to myself. That is a must.
