It's not about living,
learning from life's game.

It's not about watching,
then taking the right path.

It's not about cherishing,
and saving all the tears.

It's not about honesty,
and how we play our cards.

It's all about appearances
and not about attitude.

But you think I'm just a child,
who hides behind the big brown doors.

You say I never smile,
that I never look up, into your eyes.

I'm not blind to all the whispers,
I'm not weak enough to be wounded.

I'm not a shield to all your thoughts,
I'm not a sword to all your retorts.

I'm not as heartless as you say I am,
I'm not as cold as you think I am.

Just say it to my face,
don't hide behind your petty words.

About my grandmother talking about me to her friends.
She tells them she didn't raise me right, that she should have done better. That I'm rude and never smile. I'm quiet, I never speak, and when I have no right to, I do. It's not about attitude, it's about how I appear to others. I have reason for my actions, she just doesn't understand it. She says it's because I have no friends, that I never spoke and never will.
Just because it's parallel to her old life, does not make it true.

That rhymes...kinda.

WOW...

beautiful, I love the emotion; the hate and hurt.

The use of negatives is effective,

I love it... yet another great piece *fav

so if you take the accent
you have to take the dweeb too!
