Secretive

you know what?
I don't have secrets
how could I?
I don't ever go outside
except that i sometimes drive the kids
somewhere or other
but we don't do anything secretive
just
whatever the park, school

When my mum
phones me
she says what's new?
and I say, nothing
and she doesn't ring me often

Sometimes I try to talk to you
about you know
philosophy or whatever
but I always pick inappropriate times
like
Desperate Housewives is on

Bothered

you know what?
I am someone who when he has something on his mind, I can't let it rest
it's not impatience
it's that things bother me
I am never intentionally cruel to people
If I know they need something, I try to give them it
I know it might not seem that way, but that's actually what I'm doing
And it seems so natural to me that that is what you should do, I don't even know how a person can do otherwise
I don't know how you can ignore the urge to do the right thing
when you know what it is
