Because SheSaid

by iloveanimecartoons

Original Version: January 20, 2008

Genre: Psychological

She seems to love giving you reasons to fall on the fallouts, selfishly loving to fan your flames of self-hate

She's been that monkey on your back for so long, you barely notice the weight

Of her digging her nails in your back for purchase—she's been there forever

Oh, great…

When you're looking at the woman in the mirror, primping and tweaking in vain

Tell me, `cause I'm a little lost, how much have her words really cost

To realize, because she said it, you're crying again?

How many times has she crushed you? Made you doubt all potential within?

So quickly to group you with life's “Out crowd”…so hesitant to fathom you with the “In”

It's not that she's inept in giving you words to lift you out of your woes

It's that, when she tries, you get this…look in your eyes

Like you'll never be able to live up to you preconceived dreams, so you fret and you sigh

And you cast down your face to the floor

Any courage to fight her, no more

Is it so fascination, his land near your toes?

You surely stare there enough—is she down there, too?

Omnipresent, on your back, and perhaps on your shoes

or, maybe, in your mind? Have you ever stopped to think she implanted that far?

Sometimes I wonder… Do you really know who you are?

I so hate her vernacular

And, daily, I contemplate slapping her

But, logic holds me back. Hmm, wonder why?

Because…there's more for you to see than just what comes to you from me

What I say out my mouth, from my eyes, from my heart

Because she said, for so many years, regardless of your inner fears

You ignored her when she's always been there

So close

Too close

You guys really need to talk

After a good hug, I turn you around to the mirror

Do you see her?

Hope you figure it out soon…
