do you know what
she said to her?
just be yourself
it felt like a slur

whenever I showed
just a little "me"
they said I'm an animal
with scary big teeth

they don't want "me"
but their version of it
if you would to ask me
them too are full of shit

call me an animal
and when I show
my claws in defense
they accuse me of howl

it is so simple
to be the perfect friend
in their eyes
it's an ongoing trend

not enough
communication
leaves too much room
for imagination

not showing them
anything of me
makes them think
I'm most perfect of beings

not saying anything
they put words in my mouth
if bad or good
as long as it leads to growth

growth in their eyes
or maybe just head
I'm not lying, am I?
I'm not someone bad
