WHATEVER

Whatever,
I can’t here you
And nobody really cares.
I certainly don’t,
Neither do you.
Someday
I’ll show you.
I’ll show you what I can do
And then you’ll know.

Who really cares
If I sometimes forget how to dream.
You certainly don’t.
You just rip my dream clouds out of the sky
And tear them to pieces.
They bleed rain and tears
As you shout justification.
But I’m not listening.
So, whatever.
