Hold the hell up, man.

Karyn Indursky

Hold the hell up, man.
I've been burned
by hot cooking oil
on my head and hand.
I still have problems
taking my shower.
I'm very heat sensitive.
My face and head
can't take it
too hot.
I have to
turn down
the temperature
to wash my face and hair.
I know you
don't understand that,
but I don't tell you about it.
I understand
so much more than
what you think.
So, please,
stop telling me
what I know
and don't know
because I know
more than I let on.  

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Written about a childhood memory. Even if it wasn't done on purpose, it still happened. I have the scars to prove it.
