Fairness by taylorswift97

Since when was it wrong
To speak your mind?
When trying to explain 
Just throws you off the edge
You are forced to live
Life with your mouth closed
And speaking up 
Pushes you to the ground
When you are treated awfully 
And aren't allowed to stand up
This isn't fairness
Each being should have to hold

This is a good poem Taylorswift.  I'd like to show you some wisdom or whatever but I'm all out of wisdom at the moment.

Interesting poem! I think a lot of people have been there... at some point in time. Good work!

Yes, we all have been there before... being treated unfairly.  At my age, I've come to realize that (as the saying goes) life is not supposed to be fair...   A nice poem nevertheless!

Fairness is
Fairness isn't
It's what we agree to

I like this poem
I'm feeling it

Hi Taylorswift97, 

Your thoughts are well expressed, however you might want to apply some form and style.  Poems are usually in stanzas, just wondering why a single stanza with many lines is emerging.
