The Point

Why do you minimize me and my opinions?

When I hold you as so large a part of myself

To me you are so sacred

As large a part of life as breath

Yet I am but a routine to you

A pattern in the quilt that is your life

You feel the need to say, “I love you”

It shouldn’t come from obligation

It should come from passion

It should come from your heart

The things I say do not count

They are “ridiculous”, you say

My thoughts and feelings are as much apart of me as my heart

And my blood

Take those from me, and I have nothing

To you this may not be a very important issue…



THAT’S MY POINT!!
