I give in and don't give up
Smile all the time
Always behind
A shadow, cast aside

I try harder and don't give up
Ready to please
I keep up, always accepting
Never denying

Their prejudice, their egotism
Undermines my good patience
Their lack of compassion
Destroys my efforts in this fashion:

Anger builds up
Anger boils over
It bursts, it explodes, it hurts
The ones I shouldn't hurt

I gave in, now I give up
Leave them aside
Leave them behind
With their prejudiced minds
