Ungrateful

You're ungrateful. 

Ungrateful for how I'm feeling 

Ungrateful for the words I speak

Ungrateful for the school I attend 

Ungrateful for the roof over my head 

Ungrateful for people around me 

Ungrateful for the things I have 

Ungrateful for my life. 

But I should be grateful for what?

The feelings I have that are never get addressed?

The words I speak that are never heard?

The school I attend that makes me feel worthless?

The roof over my head that I am scared of?

The people around me who belittle and abuse me?

The things I have that are never actually mine?

The life I lead but will never be happy with?

I'll be grateful when they aren't killing me.
