Heed My Words

Why must it be that every single time I talk

you take offense

"Hey, how come we haven't talked in a while?"

"I just don't get why..."

"Isn't it weird?"

"Geesh, What's with the attitude!"

When I am really just kindly asking you a question

or stating a fact

or letting my thoughts run wild

It doesn't mean that I am angry

or being rude

or trying to attack you

I am harmlessy, genuinely saying whatever it is I am saying

You just happen to never be able to see it

You argue at me

You insult me

You scorn me

But you never listen 

Words aren't always said to hurt you

Can't you see that?

Sometimes thoughts are just thoughts

Nothing more

Nothing less
