i'd be lying if i said i was completely unscathed
would i be proving you right with my silence or my retaliation
would i be letting you win in my non reaction
how would i explain this to my children if i had them
because i can't not
because i can't afford to be misread one more time

would it be whining if i said i needed a hug
would you feel slighted if i said your love's not enough
how can i complain when i'm the one who reaches for it
because i cannot walk without my crutches
because i can't help wonder why you ask me

to all the unheard wisdom in the schoolyard
you think you're the right ones
you think you're the charmed ones i'm sure
how can you go on with such conviction
and who do you think you are
and why do you question me

because we can't not
because we can't help laugh at underestimations
because we cannot help without your willingness
why do you affect me still
why do you hinder me still
why do you unnerve me still
why do you trigger me still
