I'm not very good at this
Explaining myself and what I do
Deciphering my emotions
Deciding what is wrong and what is true.

So let's start with the no
And later with the yes
One means "Absolutely!"
And the other a "I guess"

It's a bit confusing
But I know you'll understand
If maybe I write it down
To lend you a helping hand.

When I say maybe
I really don't have a clue
Of what or how I feel
And what we should do.

So back to yes it's simple
When it doesn't mean yes
It's probably a "No"
Or a "Not quite yet."

When you cross all the I's
And dot the T's
Everything is spelled correct
And really easy to read.

But if you don't speak my language
Because I'm afraid you aren't me
And you definitely aren't a girl
I'm sorry, but that's how it has to be.

And when I'm mad I'm not really mad
Or I'm very *******
Though I probably won't tell you
But clear my throat and cough.

Because when I'm nervous I fidget
And it's obvious to most
That I'm afraid to give a straight answer
For what I fear might come too close.

I don't like getting yelled at
In fact it's usually the response
That I get when I speak openly
And tell of all my wants.

But I have to learn
That you can't always be afraid
It's only more problematic
And expands the mess I made.

So I should just speak my mind
I will try, when I can
And tell you a direct answer
So that you understand.

Because I probably just boggle you
Twist you up and confuse you
Turn you upside down
Even though I don't mean to.

So sometimes yes means no
And other times no means yes
And when I say maybe
That's usually a I guess.

So that is half of the time
But even that's not completely true
I guess I could try a little harder
And break it down for you.

So yes is sometimes maybe
And no is always no
But maybe is absolutely
And I guess, is what you should watch out for.

Because when I say I guess
I really mean no, never
Unless I'm smiling
Then we can do it together.

I'm having a hard time explaining
I'm sure you can see
Maybe there's no use in trying
In figuring out me.

But I give you lots of credit
And lots of kisses too
Cause you've got it down pretty good
Probably better than I do.

So I'll stop trying to explain myself
It seems to be a waste of time
I'm only making it more confusing
By writing this rhyme.
