Why Is It?

Why is it

That you act this way?

Your temper's always shorter

When we've had a good day.

***

Something will go wrong

And we'll start to fight,

Nothing I say or do

Will ever be right.

***

You tell me what I think

You reckon you know how I feel,

Don't you think I'd know better

Come on, get real.

***

There's one thing you always say

That everyone's more important to me,

After all I've said and done for you

How can that possibly be?

***

You don't want to be happy

You'll do anything to be blue,

But if you think I don't want happiness

Then you're wrong because I do!!!

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
