You Forget
By: Taylor Donnelly



You say i don't know what its like to bleed

You forget I'm a women

You say i don't know war

You forget I'm in high school

You say i have not learned

You forget how to count without your cellphones calculate or write without your computers word processor

You say i am too young to understand

When do i get to tell you your too old to understand

I do admit i have not lived as long as you have

But that means i have less biased

My mind not so jaded by anger and propaganda

You say i do not know death

But friends foolish and headstrong have found a wheel to pull left and right

I cried as did my peers, my friends

You say i don't know what I'm going to do with my life

You forget I'm alive

Is that not enough

I want to stumble and find my way as you were able to

You say I've never been a mother

That maybe so

But I've loved like one

Giving birth to ideas, love, and hope

Seeing them wilt and die

Barring them young and with a sad heavy heart as they pass before their time

I blame these hormones

For not allowing me to please clearly on raw subjects without becoming impassioned and getting that lump scratching at my throat.

I want to talk but every talk because an argument, i cant find the words to tell your opinionated mind what my opinionated mind thinks

You say i don't know what its like to bleed

You forget I'm a women
