I’ve been told I am the most stupidest person,
I’ve been told I’m irresponsible.
I’ve been told I talk down to everyone like they are children,
I’ve been told I always turn things around so that I am the victim,
I’ve been told I don’t know how to communicate or talk to people.
I’ve been told that I always tell folks everything
I’ve been told I am antisocial
I’ve been told I make people feel unwelcome
Ive been told I always misinterpret the points trying to be made
I’ve been told that I think my daughter does no wrong and tells no lies
I’ve been told I think my daughter is perfect— well I will own this as God does great work.
One would think I can’t be the only imperfect person with flaws.
The word is clear last I checked, Let those who have not sinned cast the first stone.
My mom told me when she left this world how things would be,
How right she was, I doubted and assured her she would be wrong.
You see I had more faith in the end result.
I believe God makes no mistakes in who our families are or will be.
To bad for me my family hasn’t gotten there yet. I seem to somehow be the unmatched puzzle piece to their group.
