Misunderstood

Is it too much when I ask to be understood?

I am an open book
With bold letters
Big in size as well
That are not hard to read.
So, why do you always see wrong?

Is it too much when I ask to be understood?

I speak small words
None of which are complex
But found in picture books
A 1st grader could comprehend.
So, why do you always hear wrong?

Is it too much when I ask to be understood?

I commit simple actions
That do not require much thought
They don't cause anyone harm
Or at least I don't intend them to.
So, why do you always think wrong?

Is it too much when I ask to be understood?
When I ask to be seen as more than the funny girl?
When I ask to be heard by my unspoken words?
When I ask to be thought of with relation?

I don't ask for much.
So when I ask now to be understood,
To be pulled out of the shadows,
Please do me a favor
And draw the curtains.
