I've discovered this intriguing object,
the meaning was lost through sin.
A test! with help from your families sect.
Some will defect, while others will win.
This is life as I learnt it.
Through all of the test, do not speak a word.
I've learned to assume the role of silence.
Some see the logic, others answer, "absurd!"
But I believe what I do is common sense.
This is life as I learnt it.
Outside of your town's limits,
Your opinion is rarely heard.
What's left are clever phrases and bits.
Speak unless spoken to, is what I've infered.
This is life through a child's eyes.
Promise, to never again, tell us lies.
Author notes
I'm 13. This is life as I've learnt it.
