How Come? Poem by Erica Olson

Why do people come to you and expect you to listen
But when you need someone to talk to they don’t care or listen

Everyone must have this feeling except for the ones who
Have people like me to go to
Who acts likes like a mom
Who gives them hugs
Listens to them when they have something to say
Who dropp anything for them when they need me

How come people who you love the most refuse to listen
Or if they do listen they criticize you and complain
Saying it’s not true
What ever I’ll be there for you so stop complaining
I won’t yell at you so why are you afraid

Some people who are super strong and can
Stand up for them selves won’t show emotion,
Anything because they’re afraid
Afraid to show any emotion?
Showing emotion isn’t weakness
Is sensitivity and a way to express your self

How come people are so caught up with them selves?
