You act as if you're superior
When your ignorance makes you inferior
You've been complimented one too many times, dear
And wonder why it is no one holds you dear
You isolate yourself from all existence
Yet wonder why no one goes the distance
The world's a lot bigger than your front door
And I can't stand to listen to you anymore
Everything's taken to offense
And sometimes things just make no sense
You retaliate, go on the attack
And now you can't take those words back
I tolerate your childish game
Why can't you see, we're not the same!
But don't think you're special, or one-of-a-kind
Because sadly, one day you will find
That we're all the same, and no one is better
We live and die down to the same letter
And just because others live as they do
Doesn't mean they're aiming it at you
Learn to take a joke, and not be so uptight
Quit insulting everyone, thinking you're always right
Otherwise, you'll be alone in the end...
And that'll hit you so great, you'll no longer pretend
It'll be so empty, it's hard to ignore
And I guess I suppose that's what this poem is for
To send a shock to your system and just let you know
That nothing will ever go right unless you learn to let go
So do something more than just come along and show up
Why don't you shut up until you manage to grow up!
