Condescension

You stand over me

Telling me that I am wrong

I still cannot believe

That I have lasted this long

 

I feel my heart exploding

With the condescension I receive

You told me all I know is not true

All I was taught, all I believe

 

I am forced to play this game of yours

In which you\'re always right

While I am left, unsound

Though I try, with all my might

 

I swear you have no reason

Rhythm, rhyme, or heart

You look at me, with such distaste

And just like that, I\'m set apart

 

You are my family

I wish I could undo

You think so little of me

And think so highly of you

 

I know you don\'t understand

I know you don\'t see me cry

But for once in all my years

Could you please just tell me why?
