I Don't Believe In Strangers

[bogpan]

People seem not to want to talk to me
when they think I'm being too personal.
I said, "What, you're not a person?
I had a feeling you weren't."

What makes me think they'll talk to me
when they don't even talk to the people they know?
Sure, they tell me everything about them,
but that doesn't give me the right to say anything in return.

I hear you been telling people I'm stalking you.
And as long as you keep coming to my house asking
for money,
I'm going to keep stalking you.

How will you explain the message
sent from your phone to mine
with a picture of yourself
sitting naked on your bed,
with a text caption reading:
"Rape Me"?

That's even the song
you have as my ringtone
when I call your phone.

Though I can't say
with the way you dress, you're asking for it,
since the last time you came over
you weren't wearing anything under your coat.

Now people say I have
a bad attitude,
even you say I'm no fun to be around.
It's just that whenever I get excited
about anything,
no one shies away from telling me
how much I get on their nerves.

That's why I keep a glum expression,
—out of fear of being unloved.

If I could only keep my feelings to myself,
things would be better for everyone else.

"Rape Me" is a song by Nirvana. This is an interesting reference, although I do not like it when a claim prose poetry. It is certain that I do not like aggression in both directions.
