so when she’d clean her drawers
you just sprawled on the floor
with your head in the ceiling
hoping nothing was yours
and when your uncle met his maker
what was your answer for
no emotion to be discovered
what could you endure?
and by the time you looked right through me
you were asking why i couldn’t grasp
things you said were easy being human
i guess that’s just another thing to add
and when they said congratulations
confusing his head’s broken door
living in silence and dejection
whispering dreams to ignore
through the halls
you can’t disrupt
when you’re standing in there looking for anyone
it might be tough
not feeling enough
when your mind goes silent looking for hiding
i can’t feel like i should
it only hurts to be misunderstood
