nobody told me what to say

by Twan - Aries

i never thought adulthood was like this
never thought that this was a stage show
and no one held up cue cards telling me what i was
but the way i feel right now, the cue card says (ASSHOLE)
i always thought that you had to do yourself good and you would be helpful
instead i'm seeing that the whole world is intruding upon me
nobody ever told me what to say
and when i cry it isn't always out of frustration
why can't there be something different
somewhere else
and still wondering what happened to me
when i turned 18
i've become resigned, bitter at my fate
but seeing no way to change it
nobody told me what to say
nobody told me who to fuck
i need more than this called luck
and they show me the door and i look away
not seeing what is behind it
and still i don't know what to exclaim
cause nobody can tell me what to say
just waiting...
