Quiet House

I love you for this,

but I am aggravated over that.

Quiet house prays silently over them as they’re out of town.

I’m tired of performing.

…at work

…at home

…for family

…for friends

I’ll be me one day,

where I won’t have to perform.

One day, I’ll understand,

but will they understand me?
