i wish i could be beating up old guys on netflix
instead of watching this shit.
i wish i could have my dream
be carried out for me
instead of hating on the men
who have to take one for them.
i wish i could be beating up old guys on netflix
instead of watching this shit
i wish i could have made it
before i was 13 years old
i bet i would have been gold.
i wish i could have been handpicked
to be the one who’s power was allowed
i’m the same girl with dreams and talent
but i have to push it all down
give up my crown
just so another girl
can have the whole town
i’m running up to take care of her
still pushing past barriers
on a regular basis
in my mother’s basement
experiencing debasement
and public humiliation
that no one is stopping
on reddit threads
that no one is killing
on comment boards
that no one is defending
just me and my lonesome
hurting the world
because disney didn’t believe in me
when i was 13 years old
or maybe they did
and they made them forget
what a world to be a child star
and take it for granted
while the rest of the world
wonders how you even landed it
i guess think it through
before you stand with the who
that gave you the platform to choose
everything they grew
inorganically to fuse
their power with you
while the rest of us blocked
by the same hand that held you
their gun still cocked
aiming at the ones who are forced to make do
with the life that they choose
for me and my friends
that doesn’t make sense
so why are we living to lose
after all that was spent
we can’t afford rent
now, while you stand in front of
sold out crowds
paid for by the machine
that your forefathers allowed
i stand in poverty
giving astrology
to people on the internet
for free.
it sucks to be me.
i wish i could be beating up old guys on netflix
instead of watching this shit.
