Dumb

I have so many intelligent thoughts
So many beautiful words
I know of so many things
That no one has ever heard
I want to say these things but I fear I never will
I'll just dumb it down instead
They don't want to know how sad and cruel things are
They don't want to know what I think
The don't want to know about the person I want to be
They don't want to know why I won't live past 18
So I'm going to dumb myself down instead
