Inferior

You always say the things
I’ve heard so much before.
The moment everything opens,
You start to shut the door.
You think I’m trying to control you.
You think I want you to obey.
All I want is for you to know
And hear the things I say.
I’m not trying to be subtle,
Or veil my words with lies.
I’m just trying to find the secrets
That lie behind your eyes.
Beautiful is the flower
That you won’t see or smell,
Because that flower is above
Your desolate place in hell.
I wish that you would learn
That which others might teach.
But still you turn away,
Your own knowledge you would seek.
I only ask that you listen
And try to understand.
Right now, you are alone.
Alone you cannot stand.
I’m not saying that you need me.
I really don’t care who.
But everyone needs someone.
Let someone take care of you.
You will not be inferior,
Or even underneath.
You will only and always be loved
And you will know the things you need.
