Stop judging stop expecting stop letting things get to you
the phone rings you walk away wounded
poisoned posts poised in your inbox
words on a screen that wreck your world
only lethal if you take them in.

As long as I need your understanding I am exposed
my expectations ensure denial
you were not who I think you are
if you are who you think you are
you cannot be who I need you to be.

Need ensures noncompliance
if I depend on my ideas of what you are
they will crumble and I will fall
the broken remain dependent
until they realize how it is they came to this.
