Fine.
I'm sick of this
So fine.

You want honest stories?
Tales with no fun?
No drama, no theater
No laughter provoked?
Fine.
You want to laugh?
And say under your breath
"If that's even true"
&
"Yeah right, I was there.
That isn't what happened"
Yes, I know
I know I'm dramatic
I exaggerate to make you
And our other friends laugh
But I'm tired of being laughed at

I'm tired of being looked down upon
As "silly"
Or "always late"
Or "just the innocent one"
You wanna laugh?
Then fine.
It hurt me too much

Im sick and I'm tired
Of taking care if you all

Forget being loving
I want to be respected
Or nothing at all
