hurts

I thought that you were crazy

That you were angry going mad

I thought that I was doing right

While all I did was make you sad

I thought you were a simple rhyming pattern

One poem written down

I thought that you were just like me

When I saw my face in a frown

And at first I saw you normal

I saw a boy who knew the strings

Not someone who needed help

To be social with other beings

But then it all made sense

The repeats I knew of you

All the things that I'd picked up

All the stupid misguided ques

It hurt too much to see it

To realize how blind I'd been

It still hurts me every time

You show your progress wearing thin
