Don'T Get Me Wrong

Attempt to pressure me “When will you have a child?” This question Always never makes me smile I want one.. Don't get me wrong There's more for me in life I'm finding where I belong That rejected look I'm not defective Taking my time Have fun playing detective I've made the mistake Turned my living room into judge Judy I've learned, I withdraw Far from perfect, who am I to decide? There's so much I never hear, Wish I never saw I don't listen to what people say I watch what people do It's true.. actions yell Like thunder from the clouds When I do something right, I can hear my relative angels proud Raised with truth that I could make a difference Here I am trying to live in my grandpas shoes But going to college, get the degree, work for a CEO Wrong size for me, don't care how many battles I lose It's how you do better, raise yourself up Practice makes perfect Untying knots, finding pollutions Traveling life, it's so abrupt. There's no shield for life No knight in shining armor Rather be the solution Skip by Walmart, Pay the farmer When I tuck myself in I sleep well, I dream Happiness comes from within If what I do is so evil, Just know I'm content with living in sin.

I enjoy your words in the silence, when I see no comments I ponder violence, A long journey, you seem to be expecting, I wonder if applications, you are accepting, that temptation could lead to defiance I read your words once, twice thrice, wondering ig I'm of macho men or mice, the chemical romance not a romance at, But I found a glass slipper at the ball, now my search for cinderella leads back to vice A shadow only remains where there's light, your words are sunshine on a dark night
