Can't You Tell?

Can't You Tell?

A Poem by Mogan Horse
"

Growing up is hard

"

Can't you tell that I'm mad?

Can't you tell that I'm tired?

It doesn't mean I'm depressed! It's just life!

Can't you tell I'm frustrated?

Can't you tell I'm upset?

It's doesn't mean I hate you! I just need to be alone!

Can't you tell I'm lonely?

Can't you tell I'm alone?

I done't need to be smothered! Just hugged!

Can't you tell that the "Bully is the Victim"?

Can't you tell that the "Victim is the Bully"?

It doesn't mean I'm a brat! I just protect who I can!

Can't you tell that I'm becoming me?

Can't you tell that I have on opinion?

It doesn't mean that I don't respect you!

Can't you tell that I don't want to be a democrat?

Can't you tell that I don't want to be a Republican?

It doesn't mean I'm ignorant! Just independent!

Can't you tell I don't like that?

Can't you tell I don't agree?

It's not that I don't like you! I just don't want to BE you!

Can't you tell I'm young?

Can't you tell I'm unsure?

It doesn't mean I'm a child! I'm just not completely an adult!

Can't you tell I'm mature?

Can't you tell I'm independent?

It doesn't mean I'm an adult! I still make mistakes!

Can't you see I'm trying?

Can't you see I work hard?

It doesn't mean that things always happen as planned!

Can't you tell I mess up?

Can't you tell I fall?

It doesn't mean I'm lazy! Just human!

Can't you tell I'm not him!

Can't you tell I'm not her!

It doesn't make me rebellious! I'm just me!
