I'm feeling somewhat neglected
And I'm sure you know why
But my frustration will be redirected
I certainly will not cry

I have so much pent up inside
If I keep busy, it will soon subside
I'm keeping my distance from you
I'll find things to do

If you notice that I'm quiet
Please leave me be
I am upset and I won't deny it
Let me seethe quietly

I'm sure you now feel some guilt
And want to make it up to me
But wait until I'm ready
When I'm able to talk to you pleasantly
