So You're Gonna Be Like That
No
 Just go
 Leave me in silence
 To end my thoughts of anger and violence
 You make me seethe and shake
 Because you don’t know what’s at stake
 Failing to understand and see
 Everything, or anything, about me
 Still I listen to your wisdom
 Your insults calling me dumb
 Saying overreacting, overdramatic
 Don’t you know how much crap that is
 Your tongue twisting like a snake
 Spilling the lies your brain makes
 Filling my ears with delusions
 Eyes deceived by illusions
 I tripped and fell down from grace
 Screaming, plunging into empty space
 Until I was saved by wings sprouting
 Just as I had stopped doubting
 Found myself and caught it too
 Now I’m coming back to take a shot at you
 You are the core of what’s really wrong here
 Time to accept the responsibility, my dear
 I’d say act your age but I don’t want you acting like dirt
 Just be mature, I know it’s tough but make the effort
 Start preaching what you’re teaching you filthy hypocrite
 Stop changing your mind and saying “that twit”
 No more making faces when asked a question
 No more writing referrals for Saturday detention
 Stop laughing when you ruin others’ lives
 Can’t you stop making students cry
 This is absolutely and utterly ridiculous
 You being so harsh, cold-hearted and soulless
 My gosh woman! What do you have against us
 To be so cruel, vindictive, vicious
 Escape denial and your wrongs you must admit
 Get a reality check, and heart while you’re at it
