Nuisance

 
I’m always over-eager
to let you off the hook
dealing get out of jail free cards
before you’ve even asked
Because obviously, my requests
must have been
a nuisance

Well I don’t want this
self-inflicted itchy coat of blame
and I refuse to carry
this imaginary shame
It’s not
too much
to want a moment of attention
a few seconds of uncalculated truth
I’d like to help you step out
from behind those levers of control
But I’m done making your excuses
by convincing myself that I am
a nuisance
