You say broken
I say whole
You say touchy
I say emotional
You say different
I say unique
You say weirdo
I say talented geek.
It's all perspective
How you see things
Sometimes it means something different
And sometimes it means the same thing.
Looming over your shoulders
Each stack higher than its former
Every thought and every scrap
Of an idea too scared to ponder
Every moment that hurt
Each minute that lingered longer
How do I push the words out
From behind my taffy tongue
Thick with salty tears
And full of grubby thumb
I’m a child
Pretending that I’m numb
To escape the overwhelming feelings
