inside my mind I am not a boy
I'm trapped inside a child's body
they gawk at me and say I'm wild
and make me play in their back yard
they ignore me because I know their answers
they ignore me because I'm young
I just want to be understood
and break their wall of prejudice wisdom
it doesn't matter who you are
they will judge you by your age
and tell you to go on home at once
and quit pretending to belong
but when they're old and they miss their youth
they'll look at me and say: "sweet boy, never forget your childhood"
and I'll reply: "I'm just a tortured soul
trapped inside a child's body"
