Disclaimer: this isn't about anyone in particular and it's not even about a specific problem. It's just me and my pent up anger trying to sort out my emotions. If you are confused by this poem, though, I will offer you an explanation because I understand what it's like to not understand what's happening around you. Ok poem time here we go!

•••••

There always seem to be things
That I don't understand
There always seem to be things
That don't make sense to me
There always seem to be things
That need to be explained
And there always seem to be the ones
Who don't care to explain them

There always seem to be things
That are funny to a group
There always seem to be things
That only slightly involve me
There always seem to be things
That I should "let blow over"
And there always seem to be the ones
That tell me I shouldn't know

I know that it's not 100%
My business
Like I thought
I know it's not all the way
Something that
I should know
But like someone told me before
I can't teeter on the edge
It's all or nothing
And if you're going to involve me
Please
Make it quick

Being out of the loop
Causes confusion
Being confused
Causes anger
And when I'm angry
Suddenly
The whole ordeal is my fault

When you fueled the fire
You didn't expect it to burn higher

When I'm angry
I can still think
When I'm angry
I know I'm valid
And if you
Think I'm not
Then who are you
To blame me for it?

If these secrets are "harmless",
Why are they causing harm?
If I should let something pass by,
How do I know what to look for?

Even though this poem is late
I still need explanations for things
I haven't changed
And I won't change
Because you think it's my fault

I'm not trying to blame shit on you
Because I'm being the bigger person
But if I'm angry
Don't blame me
Because that only fuels the fire
And you'll be caught in the crossfire
Of me
Myself
And I
And a little something called
Confusion
