Eye to Eye


Fuck I look like trying to change for your benefit and not for mine.

How did it go from “express yourself” to “tone it down”?

 

We have the same struggles but you are conservative and I’m a liberal. We agree on free speech but not on diction.

How can we “agree to disagree” but yet it’s still “my way or the highway”. Well I guess I choose the  highway because I will not back down.

 

Fuck I look like saying one thing but then I go back and do another?

You speak Proverbs but I speak Action Words.

 

I will never equate my age with my maturity level nor will I be intimidated by those who are older than me.

And I’m supposed to conform with your bullshit philosophy of “care what others think” because I’m supposed to care due to my shitty insecurities?

Fuck I look like?

 

If that’s the case then you do not know me. If that’s the case you need to look closer at the person that I have become.

If that’s the case then you have the wrong one. Because fuck I look like going back to a time when I couldn't’t speak at all?
