I Am Not

I am not weak because I don't fit the mold

I am not weak because I ask for help

I am not weak because I give

I am not weak because I share

I am not weak because I cry

You can't live this life like you are invincible

Being misunderstood is common

Never succumb to other's opinions

So many voices, so little time

Do this, go this way

You can't do this don't you know that?

I am so tired of the underlying current

It's in their countenance

If not in their words

It's as if everyone can feel but me

I'm not sure why

I'm not going to hide

I'm not going away

Please give me time

Please give me space

To process things

To get strong

Without you waiting to throw stones

Everyone is pointing out my weaknesses

When they have their own

They are going around in circles

Completely chaotic with no real purpose

I'm done listening

I'm done listening to the noise

Blah blah blah

Yadda yadda yadda

I've realized maybe they are talking about themselves

I'm the easy target

They like to pinpoint my problems

I'm not like you

I don't talk like that

No one is perfect

When will they see that?
