Let Me Grow

With nothing to do.

But everything to be done.

An opportunity for everyone.

Except those they don't want.

Why don't they want you?

It's not easy to say.

A select few decide the rules.

But all must obey.

They say you're lazy, you didn't try,

You didn't work hard enough.

You didn't let me.

You left me.

I couldn't reach the top shelf myself.

Is there something wrong with me?

Am I abnormal? Strange? Confused?

I'm sorry. I promise you that I wouldn't exist if I didn't have to.

But I'm ready to work.

I'll do what it takes.

I want to be your friend.

I want to help make you great.

Everyone is welcome.

But who doesn't that include?

Those who are forgotten.

Or those who've not been approved.

All I want to do is work hard and grow.

Just open the door, and please let me go.
