"a Lesson"

No, you don't understand me man
you don't take a look to see
you're blind from where you stand
I know it's you and not only me
you never take your time
you think it'd be a waste
look at me I turned out fine
see how I'm in your face
hear the things I got to say
they might just help you out
maybe then you'll find a way
to stop whining and moaning around
I really got some respect for ya
cause you're young and you question why
so let this be a lesson to ya
why I'm gonna teach ya how to survive...

I love this one! I get this way with my foster siblings. Seeing the path they're taking and trying to get through to them. Awesome write! :)
