IT’S YOU

It’s not what you say;
it's how you say it
that’s seems so stupid.

It’s not your ideas;

it's your laziness and non-reading,
that I have problems with.

It’s not your yawns;

it's your staying up too late
that bothers me.

It’s not your words;
it's when you speak them
that bugs me.

It’s not your questions;
it’s your answers
that hit my buttons.

It’s good once in a while
to look in a mirror
and talk to oneself.
