You asked me.

You said, Greer, why are you so sad?

I said, I'm not sad, I'm just me.

You didn't accept that.

No, no, no, you said, I won't have it.

Thats not you, you said.

But i protested. That is me, i insisted.

I cried and beat down the walls, just to be locked up again. 

I told you who i really was, and what did you tell me?

Greer, thats not you.

How would you know who i am? who is me?

Do you get up and walk in these tired bones and skin every day? no, thats because I do.

So, when you ask me, Greer, why are you so sad?

I might just have to say, Oh, had a bad day at school, nothing else,

Just to save the trouble.
