The Deaf, Blind Mute

Do you hear what I have to say?
No, you�re thinking of your next rue.
I�d just assume walking away,
Then hear another point from you.

I�ve heard it all from so many lips,
Searching for a means of silence.
As you�re giving me advice and tips,
I wish you�d end your lecturing persistence.

I guess I�m the strange one, the weirdo�
But I can see through your concealed mold.
You get pissed when I do not heed you,
Or listen to what I�ve been told.

I am who I am not because of a lecture,
You�re taking up my memory banks.
I�ve decided not to listen to your conjectures,
Nor to give you any kind of thanks.
