Losing It

by Symbo

I'd better rest my eyes
'Cause I'm growing weary of
This point you've been trying to make
So rather than imply
Why don't you just verbalize
All the things that you're trying to say

Elaborate. Don't expect.

Explanation please?

Stop expecting people to understand you when you're speaking in figurative language that only you can understand and you're not explaining it.

Simple as that.

You used to be looked up to by your friends. You were thought of as the guy who was unexpectedly deep. You had wonderful ideas on your mind.

Your friends know you still have those bright ideas. It's just that you don't share them. When you try to share them, you don't do it directly. You just share with your own language and no elaboration. That is why your friends think you're being too proud of your ideas.

Your friends are not talking to you that much anymore. Why? They expect nothing but contradiction from you. They are afraid to share their thoughts with you, as they know you will only point out to them that they are wrong bastards in thinking such thoughts.

You always say "think deeper and you will understand me", or "read between the lines". And then you suddenly say "I'm no genius, I just write at my own level".

Guess what? Your friends are no genii either. That's why they can't understand you. So tell them just what you feel, what you want to express, what you need... just as they have told you what they feel about you... through this post.

What happened to the old you that your friends used to know? They know he's still inside you. Save him before you lose him. Save your old self before you see your new self lose its friends.

Your friends are trying not to be angry. They're trying to put up with your behavior. But they're not gonna let you just have everything your way. This is the fox way. And foxes have a way with dancing with sharks and still not get eaten. Meaning, your friends can compromise, but are not gonna be forced to satisfy your desires.
