The Words
So, I've been thinking
About what I've been hearing
Those little words
I hear everyday
Harmless right?
I mean it's just an opinion
Just to tell your friends
That keeps up gossip
Opinions do matter
They matter to those
That don't matter to you
People apparently deaf
I'm not deaf
I may not listen
But that doesn't mean
My hearing is bad
Alas, the words still come
Always have
Always will
I just wish I didn't create them
The random facts I say
And the activities I do
Make me an excluded freak
I draw the words they speak
I thought that engineering would be fun
And it is the best
Nobody else around agrees
I'm a disapointment
I wish their words stayed away
Ignorance is a great thing
The only problem is
You can only not know for so long
