toys and play things

i try and speak my mind,

and get my confidence stripped away,

i tell you how i feel,

just like you told me,

and you make me feel small,

like no matter what i do,

it will never compare,

i refuse to be that robot,

who nods and says "yes ma'am"

to every command,

even the ones she knows are far from fair.

i will not ignore,

the burn to speak my mind,

it may not be good in your eyes,

but i feel strong within my veins,

for speaking my mind,

so you can take away my toys and playthings,

but you will never make me quiet,

im sorry to dissapoint.
