Can't they understand, It wasn't my fault. They just stare at me, And tell me what I did wrong, When nothing was even done! Voices are raised, Punches are thrown, Can't fight back. I should hold my tongue, But for what? The loss of pride? I'd die before I lose that. So on I go, To try and explain, But it's like talking to a wall, A wall of thorns.
