Am I coming on too strong?
Do my texts come out too long?
Do I seem too dramatic?
I'm no Barbie; I'm not plastic!
I skinned my knee yesterday.
I want to know what you have to say.
Let me hash everything out in detail.
I can't get my work done, but I still don't want to fail!
Am I too much all at once?
Are my jokes really that bad?
Tell me the truth; I have a hunch...
She just makes me super mad!
I keep putting up these fronts...
I'm always feeling really sad.
Please tell me I'm not a dunce!
I just miss what we had.
I complain.
I explain.
Sometimes I'm extra.
I know.
I try not to let
It show.
But you're my friend!
You understand!
I like you a lot.
You like me back, I thought.
But...I guess not?
But I still remember what you taught:
Be yourself
Love yourself
It's ok to let it out
Normal is overrated
So stop under rating you
It's ok to be seen
Sometimes everyone needs to shout.
Is that right?
Are you sure?
Because from you
I've heard no word.
Are you alright?
You all good?
Have I misunderstood?
What's up with you?
You don't tell me to shoo...
But you're a wall!
You don't talk,
You just listen.
Like a cornstalk.
They have ears,
But no mouths.
But I know you have a brain
To think for yourself!
And a heart just for feeling
All that needs to be felt.
So open up to me!
I know you have emotions!
Have you drowned in the ocean?
I'll pull you up!
I'll get you out!
Sorry, didn't mean to shout.
But I really want to know...
How DID you learn to grow?
