Assumptions

I doesn't matter if I make the highest score on the most difficult test I still won't be able to explain myself to you.

Nobody understands me

Expecting me to explain myself

Rearrange myself

To fit inside they're expectations

Or gain

Some kind of knowledge 

From their explanations 

Of who I'm suppose to be

Querre little conundrum 

I've slowly become

With nothing

To prove but how right they are

Too right they are

Oh I've changed 

So much they complain 

They say my name

Grab and shake

My shoulders 

Trying to wake me

From this dream they think I keep dreaming

A waste of time and energy 

Pursuing 

These things I think I need

Like happiness, what a trivial thing

All these assumptions

And every word I've ever said

Leaves them questioning

My sanity 

Just cause they don't see the things

I think I see

Like the world and its circumference

WIth all of us just spinning

Dying and fighting for worthless things

Like money

Or land that will still be living 

When we've all ceased to keep breathing

Well I'll keep diving 

Deeper into this hole I've dug myself

F**k all their assumptions

this reminds me so of "finding forrester"

how jamaal was misunderstood ...they saw a black kid from south bronx who could play basketball...not the extremely smart kid that he was.

and when he and william are watching jeopardy...jamaal makes the comment..."i'll take wrong assumptions for 800"

again because william assumed something about jamaal..and was wrong as people usually were.

i agree with the last line..."f**k all their assumptions"

they don't really know me...and never will.

your writing spits directly into our eye...i like that.

Nothing wrong with listening to loved ones who want what is best for you but in the end it is your life and if they truly love you they will support what ever you do.
