Well, I Used To...

I used to read in public

But the kids at school made fun of me

So I guess I don’t really read now.

And I used to talk about my reading

But everybody simply ignored me

So I guess I don’t really elaborate now.

And I used to tell them my age

But they were older and called me a baby

So I guess I don’t really talk about that either

They don’t really like to hear anything I say

They’ll just tease me tomorrow, and then the next day

No matter what I say to them

They just say I’m a wimp

So I guess I don’t tell anybody anything anymore.

Cuz’ who will listen?
