Scream

have you ever just wanted to scream,
walk up to a stranger and say what you mean,
no wrong and no right,
no put up a fight,

just say what is said,
without ending up dead,
say your makeup's too dark,
say your T-shirts a lark,

I don't mean to be rude,
please don't say "just excuse her mood,"
I want to be me,
and say what I see,

I hate pulling a tooth,
just to get the truth,
please say it out loud,
in or out of a crowd,

don't break a nail,
typing me an email,
don't make me fall,
running to the phone for your call,

it's not worth my time,
I'll just think your slime,
for not saying it before,
when you were standing at my door,

So until you can be open,
and not leave me groping,
for the truth that I seek,
I will just think your weak.
