I talk, and I talk
spew and splutter
trying my best to fit your standards
trying so hard to be heard
But when my words sink into your ears
they register as young nonsense,
how could I value a child's view?
hardly able now, to get a word in edgewise
like it would matter to you anyway,
but I see this community too,
and in better ways than you could probably say...
I turn red with frustration
and cry tears of anger and regret
and quickly now, I'm looked down upon
see? You are still just a child
Let's pat your head, and send you on your way
wipe the snot from your nose
We, will take care of everything,
regardless of what you care to think about or say
You're in our hands now,
waste away for four more years
then maybe you'll matter...
then maybe, we'll care
But no matter, there will be new
discriminations
for you to face
Your poor underdeveloped brain
our rules are more important
you havn't knowledge,
even though we force you through facilites,
You havn't just opinions.
Child. Child. Child.
Author notes
Mm, I probably could've written this a lot better; but I think i'm getting my point across. so often I'm discredited before I even say anything, and to say it bluntly, it really sucks.
enjoy.
