The Age Wall

My ideas were delightful if I do say so myself And I do. I had so many, it was crazy. I was throwing them out in a haphazard way. Not being loud, but being funny My childlike side in full force. They ignored me Like I was not there Suddenly I realized there is now a wall It has nothing to do with me personally It is not an eye roll yet But it is built of brick And I am no longer taken seriously. The bricks of my age have cemented my new fate Someone else suggests one of my ideas She is young and cute It is a great idea! They squeal. None of them realizing I had spoken.

I know the young ones do not realize we are only 12 in many ways ourselves.
