You Were Too Busy Putting Me Into A Box I Didn’t Fit In

You Were Too Busy Putting Me Into a Box I Didn’t Fit In

i never told you
i never said how i felt
i was not, as you assumed,
some kind of, ‘retard’
your awkward put downs
never lassoed my heart
the comments you made
never found the button marked, ‘smart’
i never told you
i just never liked you
i could see you were in pieces
but treating me,
like some kind of, ‘retard’
stuck out there on the high seas
you never caught my heart,
all i saw was jigsaws,
with too many pieces
and a lego box set,
where the pieces did not fit
the perfect set up,
with too few bricks
i never told you
because at the time i was too politie
you thought you were my angel
but you never found those inner lights
