I avoid those serious talks Ya know, The ones about everything you hold inside Who doesn't? Oh yea Attention ****** But guess what?! I don't brag about my problems I choose very carefully Who I want to talk to Most of the time I don't choose anyone But things like that Really kinda do need to be talked about Lift that weight off your chest But It's hard for me to get started When someone asks "How are you" I made it a habit to say "Okay" like yea I'm perfectly awesome And a tiny part of me wants that person to detect something in my eyes But it never happens I'm either a super good liar Or they just honestly don't give a **** And I bet I could guess which I just really have a hard time Like I get the urge to invite someone to have a coffee with me Just so we can talk about all the bad things Get it out of the way I know... How awful is that? But I feel like my life is a huge secret to everyone I need friends who know how to be honest Who care and want to know me Good and bad I can't handle fake people Or those people that are addicted to attention I don't want to be one of those people who want people to pity them I don't want pity or anything like that #1 reason why I don't talk willingly I just want someone to listen And hopefully understand a little bit And I'll listen right back I need some kind of Normal Non dramatic Serious Equal Friendly Talk Those people that either don't say anything at all Or they give you advice on your problems That's what I like Those people that listen and then say "Oh well I have problems like that" Or "Oh well my dog ran away" Or "Oh well I went to comb my hair and..." Subject changers They direct everything towards themselves Attention stealers It's like Come on I can't talk to you Nothing I even say goes in your head All it does is make you think about yourself When it's like I'm asking you for help And your talking about yourself That helps me a lot Thanks But seriously Just a friend to keep updates with Share our current situations Back and forth Equally listening and caring Please tell me you know what I mean
