Learn
Do you feel what I feel?
Do you see what I see?
If not then you have no right to judge me.
Just because you say jump does not mean I will.
Lets accept that and continue our deal.
Don’t curse my name in vain,
Who is to say that you would never do the same?
You can not read my mind,
Stop pretending you will know what you will find.
Do not try to change me into who you want me to be…
That is the closest route to setting me free.
Do not grab my heart in fear that you will keep me here,
For if you pull tighter I just may disappear.
If you listen closely to the words I speak,
You may just find the answers you seek.
Do not lash out in anger trying to control me.
Do not let the tears roll from your eyes,
With the intention of getting me to sympathize.
Do not try to make me your soul,
I have my own I am trying to control.
Love yourself before you love me,
Otherwise this may never come to be.
Appreciate me for who I am.
Respect me for what I do.
Listen to me when I try to speak with you.
Do not think I can stitch all of your wounds,
I do not have a doctorate degree on my wall,
I do not hold all of the answers,
Sometimes you have to stumble and fall.
Do not try to mold me into your ideal perfection,
I may be heading in a completely different direction.
Do not second guess me,
State your opinion and let it be.
Embrace our differences so we an learn from one another,
Realize I may not always walk the straight line.
It is during those moments I may find my path in time.
Understand at times I may see black and you see white,
That is not a reason to initiate a fight.
If you need help just ask me,
Yet that does not mean I hold every key.
Accept me for who I am today,
I will repay the favor in return…
It is only then that we learn.
