My tears and scars will remain
Even after they're long gone
People will still call me insane
Even if I'm not the only one in the wrong
I wish someone could hear my plea
But all they ever tell me
Is that I'm "older", so I shouldn't feel this way
I have to keep my emotions at bay
I want to tell them that having my right back
After being exploited by a younger one
Isn't selfish nor is it slack
I'm sick of bowing my head to someone
Who had hurt me first
And doesn't intend on apologizing back
I didn't mind it at first
But this vicious cycle of unfairness
Had pushed me to show my worst
Maybe I'm childish
But never assume that just because I'm "older"
I never get hurt
Don't you ever do that
