if i have not been raped
have not been hurt
have not been bullied
have not been neglected
have not been hated
then what do i have to complain about?

"it must have been so hard
growing up in a glass castle
never tasting air
never feeling pain
always being loved"
i hear you say mockingly

i don't know if you realize
but you and me?
we're heading down the same path
into that dangerous place
called the real world

and while i have family that loves me
and family that supports me
you have
everything else
friends
experience
goals
dreams
do you understand how much i want that?
i'm not saying you're lucky
i'm just saying i'm not the one going places

- and while you'll rise...
