Sometimes it's not about shouting

Sometimes it’s not about shouting,

It’s about what I have to say,

Words filled with such emotion they,

Come out the wrong way.

 

Sometimes it’s not about shouting,

Its then that I really need you,

My body limits the things I can do,

I need you just to get through.

 

Sometimes it’s not about shouting,

It’s just needing to be heard,

To know you hear every word,

I know that sounds absurd.

 

But sometimes is it about shouting,

An anger you just can’t grasp,

When you have a brain that knows the task,

With a body that just won’t do as its asks.

 

When prisons appear with your forgotten action, it is me that is left with the unfair sanction.

I ask not from want, but need, And I wish you understood what that means.

To watch the world spin as it does, and ask if only you could.

The life I have I can live, But I need you to give,

The time to me, only a little I swear, to prove to me that you care.

So I can live the life you lead. With the little care I need.

 

My life isn’t just about shouting,

But sometimes its all I have,

The reasons behind my words you don’t know,

I’m sorry, mum, and dad.
