If you really want to know.

No matter how hard I try
Involvement means nothing.
No matter how hard I try
My actions go unnoticed.

This is my final call.
Hear me out.

My thoughts, at times
Scream so loud that I
Can't bare to be around me.

So I shut myself in.

I'm awfully confused though
As to how I've gotten so far
Being irresponsible and careless.

I thought at one point
I heard you say you were proud
I thought I heard you praise me.

I swore I heard
But its terribly faint now.

I thought I was ready.
But you showed me I'm just a fool
For thinking so.

Thanks, if you really want to know.

Young child, don't you see what you will become? Young child, this life you were born into is not for you. Young child, your soul is wise beyond its years. Young child, you glisten with creativity. But young child, you are grown now. Young child, you are a beautiful woman now. Young child, I can't sit you on my lap anymore. I can't turn your head from the world we were born into. But young child, I can show you the world that you created. I can show you the strength and brilliance you've cultivated. Young child, you rule the world now.
