G.A.T.E KID

It is easy to be branded so young.  
   
Oh so viciously by a system.  
   
Ruled by ones who have forgotten their youth.  
   
"Be proud" they say.  
   
Be proud that no one likes you?  
   
That imagination comes in complicated form?  
   
"Why do they hate me mom?"  
   
This was a question the bullies didn't know the answer to,  
   
but everyone else did.  
   
Envy?  
   
Intimidation?  
   
Fuckem!  
   
You'll grow tough.  
   
Become a cynic naturally.  
   
Learn to deal with being shunned.  
   
Stifled from many angles.  
   
All qualities a child should have.  
   
HA!  
   
You'll let down more people than the average.  
   
Will we all find love,despite our idiosyncrasies?  
   
It seems life knows the difference  
   
between dumb,and playing dumb...  
   
But acceptance is the long road to misery.  
   
I'm certain drugs evolved,from a sad attempt  
   
to escape intelligence.  
   
One doesn't usually pray for brain damage,  
   
though I'd never judge you if you did child.
