I speak You yell I scream You force silence upon me I just want to be heard, is that too much to ask for? I want to change the world You want to sit on your hands and moan Oh I am so tired of this table tennis Red spots begin to appear and my hands shake Listen to me god **** it I am not stupid! What I say matters! Can you not see I do understand what you say You have taught me I do not matter What I say has no importance Yet I sit here trying my hardest not to break because all I want is for someone to listen Someone to not yell or beat down what I say You and many others have taught me that will never exists Not with me, not with them. Not even with those you think are more important than those you love. You have proved my point. A heavy sigh, a salty tear creasing red cheeks As us the struggling youth are taught even more by those we love we will never matter and we can do nothing to change that.
