I'm a ten year old prodigy
The top of my classes
My parents say I'm special
My fellow classmates call me a freak
My teachers yell when I correct them
I tell them I mean no disrespect
The world cast me aside as a mistake
A waste of talent
I throw their critique right back at them
Maybe if you would let me use my talent
I could cure cancer, solve world hunger, or even end all wars
Sure these accusations may sound far fetched
But who knows?
It could be possible if adults would let me try
However, no!
Adults always say these three demoralizing words...
"You're too young."
