Worried

Special's picture

Somethings wrong with
the way this looks
somethings wrong with
you
i know it
and i'm just too fucking stupid
to help you.

What's the point in
being
an A+ student if
i can't help you!
what the point-

I don't want everyone
to tell me
that you're fine
i want to hear it
from you

I've been here longer
than i ever entended
you've pulled my life to
a dead halt

this can't be written off
as imperfection

this can't be put away
since you won't say
anything
to me

I really feel like
there is a wall there
now

don't just
say it

You are better?

no-
don't answer that
i'm leaving
now
bai.

It's been explained. Maybe he's not better because what's going on isn't just a nightmare to be woken up from, but... *hugs* We'll have a chat.

This is a really great piece of prosetry. :D
