Excuse Me
When I tried and cried and meant what I said
When I didnt cause a stir and was silently lead
When I swallowed my own hurt my own rage
When the issue wasnt over yet I still let you turn the page.
Did anyone stop to think what it made me feel
Does anyone even realize that im alive and breathing and real
When my feelings are crushed or im pushed aside
When your stories are uncovered and its apparent you lied
When I hear the whispers or rumors of whispers
Things that were said the message couldnt be crisper
Am I suppose to keep acting like nothing happened
I can hear the snickers the complaining I can hear them laughin
When my day isnt bright blue with white fluffy clouds
When being me isnt even allowed
When the things you need in life are stripped because you disagree
How the hell does that say you love me
Please help me understand help me believe
or please just let me be
I am so tired from trying to be someone other than me
