Arrogance Of The Gnats [POEM]

Never underestimate the growing giants.

                 Okay, let me get straight into the story

                 'bout the draft! Most of the lines here

                 are actually unused lines that were

                 supposedly a part of this poem...

                 however, I took them off in the end.

                 Rather than deleting them like I would

                 usually do, I put all of 'em together in

                 one Jotterpad note, so... ta-da!

The people around me were at awe

At my level of maturity,

Though I knew not to take their silence

As an insult or backhanded praise,

“You are very mature for your age,”

They said to me time and time again,

Yet all words that came out of my mouth

Were met with scorn, or simply dismissed,

They would tell me I should not bother

With topics fit only for adults,

Only to scold me for not knowing

Anything 'bout their conversation,

I suppose that their words weigh nothing,

But somehow has power over me

As if they were the norm, truth, or law,

That I will take heart 'til end of days,

Adults would show their concern to me,

Ask why I would not bother laughing,

But I could not say that, when I do,

They would rant how I got it easy,

I do not understand them at all—

Do they want me to be serious,

Or do they want me to enjoy life?

For either answer is somehow wrong,

They would push me beyond my limits,

Explain that this would all prepare me

For the world so cruel and scathing,

Never minding I am but a child,

Adults could not seem to shed a light

To me of their roundabout lecture;

I'm no longer sure what mask to wear

While dancing around this masquerade,

They expect me to be an adult

When I am simply but a mere child,

Only to be crossed even further

If I try to understand their world,

Their mockery of trying to see

The world in the eyes of a child shows

Just how cruel adults could become

To someone who has yet to speak out,

And I would like to remind them all

To never underestimate me.
