Explaining

Kara Lemquist 1076 (Florida)

I can't explain myself,
How I feel things differently,
How I see things differently,
How I hear things differently.
I can't explain how your words ,
hurt me, affect me, and make me feel unworthy.
I can't explain why I can't see things your way,
Why I can't conform to your ways, thoughts and feelings.
I guess that's what is wrong with me.
I'm sorry this upsets you, I'm sorry that I'm me.
I'm sorry I'm not perfect or what you want me to be.
So forgive me if I stop trying to explain me.
