"i'm just being petty,"

i think in my head

when i can't bring myself

to forgive or forget what you said

so i approach you to talk

and mend our cuts like adults

but when i leave the room i'm followed

by muted and whispered insults

if you think that I'm petty for being upset

or perhaps I'm holding a grudge

then you lack the responsibility

it takes to emotionally judge

its not talking shit

if you did what i say

if you don't want people to know

then maybe don't act that way

so i'm not being petty.

what you did cut me deep

and i have the right to tell others

who care when i'm loosing sleep
