Fourteen and False


I am only fourteen.

Fourteen is feigned with false identity

I am only one person.

Identity tying ignorant people with idiotic beliefs.

Am I only being false?

 

They say I am only fourteen.

Immaturity at the base of my immoral nature

They say I am doing it wrong.

Normal is not enough but anything else is naive or neurotic. 

They say I told a lie, like the words you told to me

 

They do not know I act older than fourteen.

Age is an accusation to the already amazing.

They do not know I work harder than it seems.

Trying too hard is time consuming or tiring.

They do not know I care too much.

 

I know I am fourteen. 

They think that time will make them wiser.

I know I am not false.

Winding down the widespread, wacky way of age

I know what I do, I do it for me.

 

I am fourteen and I am not false.
