I Didn't Ask

I didn't ask for this misfortune,

Wont let them see me cry,

But somebody as sensitive,

As me would question why.

 

Why am I so fretful?

Why dont they abide?

To the set of regulations,

Designed to give me peace of mind.

 

I didn't ask for this betrayal,

From people i dont know.

Never took the time to learn me.

Oppression is their chore,

 

Land of the free?

Home of the Brave?

But I feel quite constricted,

And im very afraid.

 

I didn't ask to be there.

Im in such disarray.

I sat in solemn silence.

As the others joke and played.
