I know she knows
Is exclusion what it's called?
Is that what it's called
When someone pushes
Pushes
Pushes...
To get away
Pushing
And pushing
Our open arms away
Is exclusion what you call it
When she got mad at nothing
Making herself separate
Is exclusion what you call it
When she doesn't want to be
A part of us.
So we exclude her
And she's mad
Ferious
But
Who's
Fault
Is
It?
Who pushed and shoved and fought
Who is it who ignored all of us
Our every word
Never spoke one on return
We tried to be friends
Tried to include
But it is her who excludes herself
She can only be angry 
With
Herself
Crying?
You think
She's the only one?
She is forcing us apart
It's killing me
Slowly
And yet
It is exclusion
And we
Are made
The bad guys
But it's not the first time she's made at least one of us the bad guy.
She can't trust us,
Though she is the one
Who lies.
And so I ask again
Not wanting an answer
For I've made up my mind
Is this excluding?
Protecting eachother
And now ourselves.
Think about it.
