Ani DiFrancoI am not an angry girl But it seems like I’ve got everyone fooled Every time I say something they find hard to hear They chalk it up to my anger, and never to their own fear
About This Quote
When I first heard this quote, I was taken aback. It felt like it was saying that anger is okay. The words “not angry” were written in quotes, which means that the speaker isn’t necessarily saying that anger is okay, but that people think she is angry. Since anger is something that people can be said to have, this leaves open the possibility that she may be too angry to be considered normal.
At the same time, the speaker says that it seems like people are fooled by her anger. She doesn’t want people to think she’s actually angry when they know she isn’t.
