Tolerate It
Calm air, cold breeze
Warm hands, new jeans
A child’s laugh echos in the herd
Flashback all in a blur
Back when I was her
Keeping me safe
Left my past a cold case
Fell out of place
Now I’m what you hate
Feeling all this weight
I’ve barely ate in days
All you do is stare
Never seemed to care
You never really tried
Always made me lie
I wasn’t made to fit
But all you do is tolerate it.
