I said please once I say
it took me years of the truth
to get off of my gut
please hear me out
understand what you hear
to you I'm invisible
it goes right in one ear
and out the other
what to express but you wouldn't listen anyway
not as important as I wish that I could be
won't you please listen to the stories of my every day
I'm acting childishly
and I'll sit quietly
I put out my feeling
so why can't they trade
but the more that I try to
the more that I hate
all that I ask is just for some acknowledgement
a little freedom is exactly what I need
some recognition for all of my accomplishments
which you won't give to me
and I so regularly
I put out my feeling
so why can't they trade
but the more that I try to
the more that I hate[x2]
and I act like there is nothing wrong
inside I know that I must be strong
[quieter]so are you ashamed of me?
