Something+That+Bothers+Me

by Amy Houck

I never had the courage to speak up To speak up because I don’t know even know if he will listen to me

And I don’t know what to say To say something that wouldn’t show my true rage

I want to reach my hand back to his leg To his leg and clench it till he bleeds

Then he would never lay a finger on my desk On my desk that I don’t want vibrating

He would probably stop Probably stop because I seem bothered enough

But what’s the use What’s the use when he’ll do it again tomorrow

And I’ll be thinking of things to say again Things to say to make him stop

But I never had to courage to speak up
