You Seem to Know How it Feels

*sigh*

You seem to know the feeling

Lost and empty in a world of fear and rejection

You seem to know how it feels to be pushed away

Forgotten.

They never show any interest in you, never seem to care

You so deeply and emotionally put it into words

All that it is and all that you feel

Quite evidently it's happened "too much"

You seem to know how it feels

to hear that one, short word

No.

Hun, don't you realize what I'm trying to say?

You've felt it all before and maybe you still feel it

You were so small, so quiet, gentle

They walked all over you and you pretended you didn't mind

So, please, if you're going to tell me anything

Answer me this.

Why have you bestowed it upon me?
