Compared

by jessasaquin

Comparing them to us Comparing us to them Is not the right way to teach us Instead you're just downgrading us I wish you could say something great Like a phrase full of possibilities To make us learn from things around, Not from what you thought We should do to make us rise No, I'm not happy The way you treated us is bullsh!t We do things you'd like us to do Then leave us hanging in the middle of nowhere Saying words full of wisdom But the air is just the one who's listening I wonder how we got this far? I'm scared you'll eventually ask me Something about the words I said from past But how am I gonna remember those? If only the one who cares is not even alive Change the way you judge Treat us equally and right I'll do the favor and pay you back With such a joy and pride -Jessa Saquin
