Oblivious Video (MV)

I know you've seen more than you could have understood at the time
It's by design
Your mind is destined for greatness
Patience
A virtue they say
But you hate waiting
Constantly contemplating how to speed up the task
Relax
Sit your ass in the corner
You're on timeout
Everyone thinks you're disciplined because you don't wild out
Learnt how to take control of perception
Had no choice
Controlling the narrative even if you had no voice
For years didn't speak
Thought you were a mute
You were traumatized young
I mean before you had a clue
No fault of your own
But guilt hits you deep
Recurring dreams every night
Amazed when you can sleep
A leader
Not a sheep
But understood when to follow
Sorrow left you hollow each day and their tomorrow
Borrow
Rather not
Held on to what you had
Abandonment issues
Grateful for mom and dad
Bore witness to acts so malicious
So young but that wasn't no kid shit
Had nothing to do with you but you lived it
You endured some underground olympics
You would live in your own head
Never had your own bed
Frustrated you leave red
Return and feel
Feeling numb to the outside
Too much on the inside
Pent up and compressed down
But you still smiled
Cared more about others than you did yourself
Bottled emotions up and left them on the shelf
The right thing to do always intriguing to you
Skepticism since a yute
Adults thought it was cute
Too acute too young was never taken serious
And so you'd brush them off with I'm too smart period
Periodically checking in to see if they'd change
If one person had listened it would have made your day
