Eyes closed, mouth shut,
Let you have the things you want.
Sat back, content to watch
Now I see that I was such
A fool to leave so much unsaid
In hopes that things would sort themselves.
Just because you say so,
It doesn't mean that you know best.
And just because you think you know,
It doesn't nullify the rest.
If I had a dollar for every time I let
You have your way to avoid an argument,
I'd be a frickin' billionaire!
You couldn't see how it affected me
Or else you didn't care.
Just because you have opinions
Doesn't mean you can ignore my reasons.
And just because you've had your say,
It doesn't make my words unnecessary.
I am not a genie you can summon
When you feel the urge to play
But whom you can stuff into a bottle
When you're done for the day.
Just because you've grown by leaps and bounds,
It doesn't give you the right to crowd me out.
And just because you have a voice,
It doesn't mean you get to veto my choice.
I am not a switch
That you can just flip on or off
And frankly, right about now I have
Had more than enough.
