what i say i mean with the kindest of hearts my love is often mistaken for hate because sometimes my visions spill out of my mouth when i see the life you’re trying to create just take a look but don’t look with your eyes your eyes can’t see when your mind starts to fly
what i say i say with an authority i shouldn’t have inhibition delivering me to my very well deserved state teenage dream but the dreams i have are controlled chaos nightmares that twist my rib cage towards the so desired truth
what i say is the result of you trying to bleach me teach me the truth that was passed down to greet me wash me of my secret maturity because its rude to stand up for what i believe in if what i believe in is on the opposite end of a person over five years older than me
what i say is more than an everyday opinion i have washed that word from my vocabulary and protested it to no end what i say is not the result of the lack of thinking it’s the result of admitting that the lack of thinking created this mess that we call freedom of speech
and i know a little more of what it’s like to become an object of a proven point when your point has been proven by others and you have to sharpen the edges for it to be seen as the same words and i don’t know every scripture but i know that God is love so why are those three words seen differently on Sunday morning out of a preachers mouth?
and i’m no republican (sorry daddy) but i know my God given rights my country given rights and my self given rights but i no longer see that integrity in the cops we throw outside and i dare say i am afraid of the american flag because the fabric is being held against our mouths silencing us by giving us freedom but if i brought these things up to you you wouldn’t understand because you take part in the war and don’t feel the land and it’s plans
70% of the people i know could tell me i’m wise but when the time comes to talk i gotta sit on the sidelines and watch people potentially ruin their lives because i’m 13 all i have to worry about are friendships and lies and homework and guys and i’m not downplaying these things i’m just saying a lot of adults have signed me up for wars and told me i’m not ready for the training but hey what do i know i’m only 13 but just because a cut is small doesn’t mean it won’t bleed and experience means nothing without integrity which is better than anything you could ever teach
so when i speak someone is bound to listen to me and to that one random person who i’ll probably never meet thank you for being a part of the solution despite the fact that we’re only 13
and in case you were wondering about the other 30 in the percentage above ** it’s my family
