A mind in the guise of open
closed to what it outgrew
A flag raised high for futures sake
disregards the things it knew
Used to love used to long
USED to judge USED to wrong
In its fight for independence
became wrought with grand ineptness
I present yourself to you
Guessing what you're bound to do
take defense in what you see
and use my words against me
i see through your grown up mask
A child unafraid to ask
angered courteous denial
so civilized yet juvenile
now you've gotten older wiser
and cynicisms your decider
