Did anyone learn like me?

Location

When you were in school, what did you learn?

Did they teach you how to hide the fear in an urn?

Did your teachers ever face the problems that burned

When you depreciated your self worth as a punishment that you thought you earned.

Did they ever wonder why you never spoke in class

Or did they always think it was a stance that you took to be a pain in the ass.

Did they teach you to stand up to what you believe in?

But shoot you down on your defense of self protection with a bobby pin.

"It's not acceptable" " You're not allowed to fight back" was that their reply?

So was i suppose to learn while i got hit back ,& in an urge to be safe and ended up the bad guy.

Well i guess i leaned as much as the rest, if thats what you taught i learned it well.
