Kelly Hitchcock Poet Lyric

Tell Me What I Like

Tell Me What I Like

I see it all around me
Pain and sadness in their eyes
My heart screaming for forgiveness
Extreme emotions make me cry

Guilt builds up inside me
Feelings rule my day
If you don’t see from my perspective
I’m offended by what you say

I search for my own answers
It feels so good deep inside
Screaming my position
Filling up inside with pride

Tell me what I want to hear
Confirm me being right
Tell me what I want to hear
Tell me what I like

Yea, tell me what I like

Don’t confuse me with the numbers
Don’t blind me with the truth
I just need some confirmation
It’s too damn hard to find the proof

Content with my opinion
Satisfied with my own truth
I just need some validation
I feel so good from my own view

I search for my own answers
It feels so good deep inside
Screaming my position
Filling up inside with pride

Tell me what I want to hear
Confirm me being right
Tell me what I want to hear
Tell me what I like

Yea, tell me what I like

Lyric Man June 22, 2018 at 6:40 AM Kelly.. I enjoyed reading your introspective poem this morning. I especially liked how it made me pause and think! Kelly Hitchcock June 22, 2018 at 7:33 AM Thank you. I believe the most serious issue we are facing today is confirmation bias. Social media provides a platform to stroke the flames of personal opinions, which leads to social disruption. We've reach a new high of feelings being more important than facts. I hope we can survive. Thanks for your comment!
