Only a Child

By brokenworthlessness

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Don't tell me that I'm stupid. I just might believe you. You may be correct, but you don't have the right to say that to a child. Don't tell me that I don't know anything at all. I may be a child, but children know more than they let on. Don't try to teach me to follow your rules. I will follow my own thank you very much. I have a mind of my own. Don't tell me I'm wrong. I know what I'm doing. I know what I'm talking about. I know what you're trying to do and I won't let you steal my childhood. I am only a child. I still know who I am. I know what I want and i don't want you steal my innocence... Don't call me stupid. Don't tell me I'm ugly. Just let me enjoy the youth I have left. I am only a child.
