You Wish You Were Me

Knowledge is wisdom
and wisdom is learned
life is a circle
it constantly turns
the world is a book
of many pages
it continues to grow
as long as time ages
empathy equals the knowledge you've earned
sympathy comes from
the force of the universe
silence pressured
by a world of unknown
truth thats supressed
afraid to be shown
you  look down on me  
and snarl your nose
i laugh at you
i watch your fear grow
you fear
what you don't understand
I'm just a smart ass taking a stand
you hide 
behind blinds of despair
I look for light
inside of dead air
my words are clear
my energy a force
your mind is cluttered
your energy is torn
between what you want
and what your expected to be
deep down inside,
You wish you were me
