She Asked
She asked me why I’m so quiet
So I said "I’m lost within my pure imagination”
She asked me why I’m so weird
So I said “I just want to be me”
She asked me why I’m so dark
So I said “I’m not afraid to play outside”
She asked me what is my favourite thing to do
So I said “poetry”
She asked me why I’m so ‘deep’
So I said “I swam within the rough waves of love, and that’s deeper than the ocean”
She asked me why I’m so strong
So I said “I’m not”
Astonished she asked why
So I told her
“I cry my tears when I take a walk within the rain. And that is the weakest thing that one can do”
She asked why
So I said “because I’m hiding my tears and my pain in someone else’s…”
