You slap at my hand like I am a child

Back me into a corner and watch me turn wild

Why am I feeling like this?

Nothing I do is right?

Even when I try you don’t seem to notice

Tell me im stupid or call me im an idiot

It does not matter anymore

I have just learned to ignore it

That’s why it seems as though im not listening

When you start flapping your mouth

My heart starts bleeding

Remembering this feeling from child hood

My brother did it to me

Just because he could

Made me feel like I was going crazy

No matter how much you explain to me

It’s the hurtful words that make me frown

It’s better to forget and just turn numb

Maybe that why you think I am dumb

Frustration takes a hold the second it starts

You probably dont care but my heart is torn apart

I’m sure your mad and frustrated with me

I’m doing what I can

Sorry it’s not perfect as can be

The road is long and rocky

Full of pot holes and rock candy

Why cant we drive down a peace of street

Thats clean, plesent to look at and neat?

This is a plea to all in power

Clean the streets of winnipeg

The open road is looking like a dumpster

Gargabe and dust cover the sidewalk

Time to pick it up Mayor!

Come on lets talk!

I want clean streets for my kids to walk down

I look out my window and i frown
