Let Me Explain



Never Would I Have..
First Off I’m Sorry
This Happened To Me
I Was Stressed A Tad Bit
Everybody Needs Somebody To Talk To
But Everyone
Isn’t The Right One
So I Write
No Judgment On Paper
Only Focus
I Need To Explain
My Thought Pattern Is Different
Yet My Ways Are Never Bitter
To The Naked Eye
It’s Perceived As Arrogant
You Must Not Understand Fully
Speak Up If You Do
Hardheaded Is An Understatement
When It Comes To Me
So Let Me Explain
Everybody Else Is Understood
With Me It Takes You A Little Extra Time
What’s Happened To Me
Hasn’t Changed ME
We Still Here In The Grace
Almost Died That Night
Wouldn’t Be My First Time I Dodged It
I Should Have Cried
But It Wasn’t A Race
Scared?
I Knew I Was Gonna Be Ok With Whatever Happened
That’s My Pace
Slow And Steady
Love Me With Everything
Not Just Anything
If It Was My Time Just Continue To Be Safe
Hold That Love And Peace Close
Everyone Gets Their Own Battles
Do Your Best
I Just Wanna Say I Love You
I Respect You
Just Let Me Explain
When Nothing Else Makes Sense With Me
I Wholeheartedly Love You
Wanted You To Know
I Know You Don’t Need It
Well Some Do
Just Know That I Love You Ok
Would You Like To Explain?
I Can Keep Going
That Moment It Was Probably A Lot Of People Worried
And Most Scared Right?
“A Strong One”
Why They Telling Me That So Much?
Any Second Longer
I Wouldn’t Be Here Writing This Masterpiece
That Always Goes Thru My Mind
Keeps Me On My Toes Against All
I Write Because Sometimes
Spoken Words Aren’t Needed
To Say Out Loud
Silence Speaks For Itself
Gives Peace Against The Whispers In The Wind
Not So Much To Explain
It’s A Lot Behind The Silence
It’s Meaning Beyond My Words
I Know There’s Plenty Of Questions
But Fix Ya Face
I’m Too Quiet?
It’s Not The Best For You?
Anything Else That’s Not Ok For YOU?
That’s What This Is About Right?
Whatever Is Good For You?
Long As You Are Ok?
I’ve Always Understood The Situation
But Let Me Explain
If YOU Can’t Accept Something You Don’t Know And Understand
There’s A Problem
A Big One That Interrupted Your Feelings
Who Will You Take It Out On?
Me
So I Chuckle And Ease My Mind
Other People Will Know About It
But Only You Know Them And Talk To Them Really
Gossip?
Keep It
I’ll Always Love You Though
Never Any Hate In My Blood
Just Remember
When They Don’t Know Or Understand
Or Can Accept What Doesn’t Concern Them
They Show Anger And Frustration Towards
The Situation
Stand With You Always
Follow That Path
You Don’t Always Need An Explanation
Asked Or Not
You’re Only Ever Responsible
For What You Said
Not How The Next Person Takes It Or Understand It
You Wanna Be Alone For Some Time?
Enjoy It While You Can
It’ll Make People Feel Weird When You Have Solitude By Yourself
Energy That Not Everybody Has Or Learns
Can I Explain A Little More
I Like Being By Myself And Even More
When I’m Surrounded By Anyone Or Anything
“Stop Showing Your Emotions”
Something My Mom Always Tries To Thread Into Me
Never Once Has It Stuck
I Hear
“Don’t Be Yourself Because The Wrong Person Can Take Advantage”
Truth
I Also Hear Be Like Everyone Who Holds Their Feelings Back
Don’t Show “Weakness” Because Its Not Proper To Always Speak How You Feel
Imma Always Explain
Be Yourself And Don’t Worry About Who Doesn’t Like It
You Love Yourself?
There’s Always Gonna Be People Close And Far
Where Judgment Walks Around With Them
Trying To Be Spread Upon You
Why This?
Why That?
What You Doing That For?
There’s Not Much Accountability Taken
Arguments For Not Answering How The Person Wants You Too
Always Negative Thinking Yet
Nothing Positive Coming From Judgement
They Won’t Understand It
Until They Try To On Their Own
Many From A Random Party To Open Their Eyes
That’s Their Life
Not Yours
I Always Think They Feel That They Aren’t Doing Enough
Even When You Tell Them It’s Fine And You’re Ok
But Wanting To Feel Needed For Everything
Unfortunately They Hate When Someone Doesn’t Involve Them
Even More So When You’re Focusing On You
And Not Them
When You Don’t Ask Them For Things You Can Figure Out
Being Involved In Everything Is What Drives Them
Keep Your Compound About You
You Can Easily Get Distracted
Always Surround Yourself With Self Love
That’s The Best High
The Let Me Explain Is How I Feel
Whenever You See Me Just Too Myself
Not Engaged Into You
When I’m Talking Too Much
I’m Prolly Too Much Because You Thought I Was Too Little
If You Understanding Me Don’t Just Hear Me
We Don’t Need To Be In The Same Space
Keep That Energy Flowing Over There
A River Runs Long
But Has Different Routes
Every Way Leads Somewhere
But It Won’t Lead To Mines
Would You Like To Explain?
The Floor Is Yours
Just Make Sure You Got Shoes On
