White Elephant

By my family I was never wanted Must've been the mouth,the brain that they hated Living is such a sin I'd have to die to be celebrated After all I live with these freaks,so how do I remain unaffected? Even when I'm there my presence remains uninhabited See,I've met better people They dress better,look better,have better But they're always intimidated I wonder why cause I'm just out-dated Everything they have was handed to them on a silver platter Yet I have to work my way up the ladder All the words they know are bland What they read and write is simple Like simply made for the simpletons quite simple to read so these simpletons believe it simply cause they're simply Simple No matter how better They claim to be They can never knock down my ability Cause writing is my capability And to them writing is an inability I hold no accountability to how they react to my personality I'm also simple-yeah,simply the best And if you don't wanna burn,you better get used to that reality I may be a white elephant to my family, But to you,I'm your own worst enemy
