Please Understand Me
I grew up, expected to be an adult
I went through rocks and stabs
I know we all fought
People watched as if I was a cast
No one gave me a hand
we all grew up
we all went through the wet sand
growing with all of my lumps and dumps
No one can see me as a human being
making mistakes left and right
They expect me to be perfect for the seeings
expecting me to be more than all right
We learn math and science and english throughout life
We go through politics and disagreements
No one taught us to be brave and wise
so it only pushed into a big disappointment
Some turn into alcoholics or drug addicts
maybe even young women becoming mothers
others kept judging and trashing from their lips
After all, you could not possibly think they would understand their own thunder
They say we can go seek for assist
but were all put-down and shut
it just makes it harder to exist
Forcing some to waste it all away through a simple cigarette butt
I am not a perfect human
Neither are you
we all strive for survival in this world each day, I am not superhuman
About time, you truly put on someone else shoes
I may be wrong but,
After all, I am just one little human
