Why?
there is so much in my mind
so much that plagues me
so much that I would never put on you
but this, one incident
did have a trigger
police officers
they remind me about a time
a time where the system they work for failed me
I tried to tell them
I did tell them so many times
I told them, and they were supposed to keep me safe
but I was never safe in their 'care'
I fell through the cracks
because all that's there is a few stray boards
strewn over an oblivion
And so I found again
my releases
because I didn't want to bother you with that
mostly I didn't want to pour my heart out
just so you could sit there in silence
a very cold comfort indeed
I didn't want to be angry with you for your silence
I don't want to be angry with you
I want to understand why you don't talk
work with you on that
but my patience is thin now
I am thin now
to little butter over to much bread
stirred up and confused
that letter from my mother has sent me into such a turmoil
I don't know how to pick my peices up again
it took so so long
I had them all in a little pile
starting to string my self back together
but that letter ruined that
all pieces
my frustration at that has come out as anger at you
but please know that the root problem has nothing to do with you
I'm starting to think all I need is a little quite
so that I might bring my self together again
The world is just so noisy right now
everyone is talking
and I can't seem to get a word in sideways
I can't seem to do much right
and I know that I notice these comments more than I didn't before
it hurt though, now, to see they've been saying these things all along
that everyone thinks I can't function with out them telling me what to do
and how to do it
I know that my driving has become angrier
I drive so much now though
that it had become a way for me to vent
it has to become a way
I don't have a chance to sit in the back and write
or sit in the passengers side and talk
even if I did talk though
no one knows what to say
and therefore they don't say a thing
I don't want pity
I'm just looking for some understanding
not an excuse either to act awful
just a knowing nod
something...
I don't know because I haven't found it yet
I see it
how I hurt you
by not being able to be understanding
not be the cathy you knew
and I promise that she will come back
if only you give me a little time
collect myself again
become the person I like
not this horrid beast that not even I want to look at
this is not me
not the me I want to be
I want you to know also
I do not compare you to anyone
you are your own
I don't see anyone else's traits within you
I see your traits
your own
I wish that you would not think that I think of you like that
because I don't
I really really don't
you are nothing like anyone else that I've ever known
you are your own perfection
don't worry about that anymore
because I promise that that is not the case
I give my word
all I have
I want to hold you high
and take away your pain
