After*Words: a snippet of my creative psychology

Family Acts

Stop acting like that

You’re beginning to upset me

You and everyone else in this family

You’re supposed to support me

But you’d rather abort me

You don’t help me out

Who knows what that’s about?

See y’all hear me

But don’t listen to a word I say

Sorry all my feelings can’t be extremely happy

That’s because I’d rather be real

I want the world to know how I feel

Stop acting like that

You’re beginning to upset me

You and everybody else in this family

Poke fun at me

I think it’s an enjoyable thing

To see my family contributing all this hatred towards me

But don’t worry

I’ll continue to breathe

If I don’t allow others

Why should I let you get to me?

I’m sorry if I don’t appear to be happy

Stop acting like that

You’re beginning to upset me

You and everybody else in this family
