You Say...

I was sick of people telling me about myself.

You Say

I'm an endless ball of energy

Who laughs a lot

Too much

 

You Say

My best friend means too much to me

She overshadows my decisions

 

You Say

There's no way

I can always be happy

 

You Say

My tears are fake

I only want attention

 

You Say

My secrets

Don't deserve to be kept

 

You Say

I don't try

Hard enough

 

You say

My life isn't that bad

I don't get to complain

 

You say a lot

Do you think you know me?

Tell me this:

Do you know the reasons I cry?

Have you ever seen me really push myself?

Have you met the people who were there for me?

 

You don't.

You don't know me.

Be

Quiet.

 

I'm happy because I wanna be.

Those tears are real.

My best friend means the world to me.

My secrets are mine to keep.

My life isn't yours to criticize.

 

So save it for someone

Who will deal with it.

Because I'm done.

Just be quiet and

Don't

Say

Anything.

Damn Stephanie, you have simply done it again, blow me away that is . . .

"Because I'm done.

Yep, there is always going to be those people in life who feel the 'need' to say something even when they think they know, they truly don't. The best thing for them to do is just shut up and stop thinking they know who you are a person. That's basically what jealousy does to people. Anyways very well done and touching!

STICK IT TO THE MAN! Okay done with total yellage there. Great job of telling parental units that they don't really know us and therefore can't really say what we really can do.

"Just
Be
Quiet"

(Monty python) K.A:"I order you to be quiet"
Peasant dude:" Do you see him repressing me!"
