Nothing But a Child

I'm nothing but a child in your eyes.
And all I can do is sigh.
I keep my anger in with all my might,
Hoping for it to stay out of sight.
Why does this even matter?,
My brain is all a scatter...
It tries to bend,
But it never mends.
This pain I have,
It's enough to drive you mad.
It's all so sad.
To realize I'm just a child.
