Everyday Life

Double Standards

You keep on telling me to

Speak my mind,

But when I finally do

You tear me down

You keep on saying to me

That you don’t understand

But when I make you hear me,

You never take my hand.

I am, totally fed up with

All these double standards,

But when I, try and say my mind,

You just tear me down.

I am, so so tired

Of all the noise,

And I am, so so tired

Of your voice.

But I still, Love you

Even when you seem to hate me,

And it is, so unfair

Cause when I try to

Tell you how I feel,

I keep on getting

Pushed away.

And you keep on telling me,

To speak my mind,

But every time I do

You look away.

And still you tell me,

That you’ll love me anyway,

But always, when I

Try and say the same,

You push me away.

And burn me down,

To the ground

Every day.
