I grow the tallest

I grow the tallest
Inside
When it hurts the most
My insides pulled on
A red taffy rubber band
Yeeeeeeeeek
Never to retract

I learn the best
When life
Knocks me
On my a*s
Miss-know-it-all
Took a great fall
Landed in humility

I love the most
When I can't take the person
For granted
When they won't
Put up with my
Crap and demand
Respect

I feel the deepest
When I have
No words to express
Emoticons
Won't do
An inexpressible sensation
Yet I a mute
