Tell Me A Story

Tell me a simple story
About how good you are
You don’t understand
You can’t fix every scar

Tell me a tragic story
About my true fate
Make it time-consuming
Tease me with love and hate.

Tell me a challenging story
About how I am wrong
Tell me all you know
How I’m not really strong

Tell me a complex story
About everything you know
Include every lie you’ve told
And so much you don’t show

Tell me one last story
Make it about my disastrous life
Tell everyone the truth
About my marks from this knife
