I live in this world
where I am constantly holding back
never saying what I want to say
for fear of making others mad
I wish I were braver
that I could say the truth to people I want to
but I don’t think they’d even listen to me
No one listens to me
I am 35, and people still see me as a 5-year-old
kid they used to know
With no opinions of her own
and even if I said them out loud,
I would be ignored and told that they were wrong
or stupid
Just once, I’d like someone to agree with me
To say that I am not crazy for the things I think
and the thing of it is the things I think aren’t really that crazy
but no one wants to listen to the truth
even if it means they’re being fooled and used
