My darling I apologize for any inconvenience But every thought must be analyzed before accumulation And still every word must be spoken with caution
I have recognized the burden And I have realized my overreaction But my thoughts, the masked lies, cannot be controlled
Have you not yet understood, after all this time? Perhaps you have not been listening to my explanations Or perhaps my words became your understanding of a situation you could not possibly begin to comprehend
After all, this is the very reason it is so hard to talk to you I must pretend you have given me the solution to all my problems Because it seems you believe that broken glass can be fixed with tape
Maybe if I scream you will finally hear me this time Then would you listen to every breath and every strangled cry Until my suffering becomes clear?
Or will you again, fix broken glass with tape And go about as if it is not still broken?
It is often difficult for a person with mental illness to explain their emotions. It becomes especially difficult when family or friends refuse to really listen.
