I can't explain myself
Nobody understands what I know
I see life and happiness and miracles
I try to explain to them
But they don't care about birth
When there are things to be tweeted
I try prying their eyes open
But I can't force them to see
Something they don't
I feel bad they have to live
Their lives blind and oblivious
WHY?
They are stupid and stubborn and stuck up
I get so frustrated
If only they would listen

The author's comments:
I used to always to to explain things to my friends that they would never get because they worry too much about their hair, and clothes, and gossip. I use to try and tell them about the wonderful things in life, but they never got it. I want people to know that if you just see all these awesome things, your life might be happier. But as you might guess- I have stopped trying.
