Please

Sometimes you get on my nerves Then you say I'm too young to protest So calmly I'll say please Dear Lord, help me please Please hear me out Hear me out before I bleed Depression's got me on a leash So with these few seconds I've got Sorry I don't say please Can I go home please? Can you sign this please? Can I resign please? With all due respect I just wanna leave Funny thing is I have nowhere else to go So can we get along please? You don't even have to talk to me please Just hear me out please Sometimes you get on my nerves Then you say I'm too young to protest So calmly I say please Please hear me out before I bleed

It's only natural for such thoughts to manifest. It can be a pain to deal with an abundance of ignorance and negativity - as you expressed well here, Esther. But there's always a light at the end of the tunnel, just remember :) (Disclaimer: you may have to squint to see it)

Sometimes you get on my nerves Sometimes you get on my verses. That`s why I observed how hard is the talent. This is always an ordinary compliment. Please add my gratitude to it .Congrat.
