Close-Minded Instead

I suppose this is what Happens when I show you What has gone through my Heart and has touched my soul. A story that you should Already know. One of names and games Played at the expense Of a child who had The misfortune Of being born At the wrong time and date. He speaks of a branch Grown on the wrong tree, And if nothing else, I thought, This would be the story That would speak to you, For you are the branch. But right now, I feel as if it’s me. Because when he is Done And the screen is blank All you can say is Okay And that you are confused. But how, I don’t know. Have you been called Too many 4 letter words Starting with the 3rd character By a daughter who should already Know better? When you turned off Your heart To the feelings she caused Did you close off Your mind as well? This is the point Where I realize It’s not you that I Am mad or disappointed In, but Myself For thinking that You could see why This is important To me. Maybe I’m the Close-minded one Instead.
