You don't know me

Member since 2002 · Posted 25 Sep 2002 · 3 comments

I know more than you understand I understand more than you think So I don't need your advice Whom are you to judge me? You can't look into my mind, You don't recognise the core of my spine You don't even know my motivation for this rhyme Who do you think you are, Looking at my behaviour with astonished eyes On what grounds do you claim to be right Judging my movements with ludicrous lies Don't think you know me When everything I do Catches you in a great surprise As different as we are You have no reasons what so ever To judge my actions So cruelly clever Because wrong you are, in every sence Forcing me to build a defence Whatever I do In my world that's the only reasonably thing to do And the norms and values in this space Are of no access to you Acknowledge these words of truth And accept the pain of ignorance And with a peaceful spirit of youth; Lets live our lives freely in whatever way you and I choose

I'm going to assume you meant 'the only reasonable thing'.
