Unfair

Don’t it feel unfair when they tell you to sit down
But your legs wanna run
Do you even care when you’re told to shut your mouth
You just wanna have fun
Scraped knees, torn shoes, kickflips on the concrete
Castles shine in the light of the sunset stone cold bark of the outcast
Always the last to go down
Don’t it feel unfair when you’re always underneath
Your societal cloud
Do you even dare to walk on your own feet
Or is that not allowed
Red hair, hate stares you down like a criminal
Venus and Mars have dissolved
In a stirring pot of change as the constant
Who’s really in control?
My head’s rocking back and forth without a fight
Half shut eyes stare into another’s mind
Quick feet lift bodies up from armored legs
Our anatomy brings
Tight fists, short breathes
Lift lips, cross brows with another stranger
Who you thought you knew
Blood shed, white bed sheets stained from not knowing
Not everyone is like you
