THE CYCLE

You overthink things they say as if don't know 

You should stop it they say as if I could choose to

You are responsible for all the trauma you received for being innocent they say as if I asked for help

You should stop crying they say as if they understood

 

Why are you so aggressive they say as if I was ever heard 

Why are you so cold they say as if they ever Treated me right

Why are you so insecure they say as if they reassured me 

Why are you so gloomy they say as if they've been in my shoes 

YOU OVERTHINK THINGS THEY SAY AS IF I DON'T KNOW 

You focus on the negative part they say as if negative parts never came true 

You should focus on the good parts they say as if I am not trying 

You should understand today they say as if I'm understood every other day

You should stop being violent they say as if I haven't bottled things in my heart since forever 

YOU OVERTHINK THINGS THEY SAY AS IF I DON'T KNOW

why are you so silent they say as if it would make sense otherwise 

Why are you always locked in your room they say as if there's something outside for me

Why are you always unresponsive they say as if my response would be acknowledged

Why are you always uninterested they say as if being interested would heal me 

YOU OVERTHINK THINGS THEY SAY AS IF I DON'T KNOW
