Were you really so blind and unkind
I know you don’t mean to be, mean to me
But lately nothing I do, ever seems to please you
“What did you do, what did you say!”
So I spend all my time waiting for
Night1
With a hot sun beating down
As the playground school bell rings again
I am not a child now; I can take care of myself
All I want is your understanding2
I’m telling myself so I’ll know;
I don’t need you to love me
But when will my reflection show who I am inside?
I’m holding on your rope and you’ve got me ten feet off the ground3
Well, now he’s back in the atmosphere with drops of Jupiter in his ear
Two weeks after the day I turned eighteen
I remember you, do you remember me too
Hands touch eyes meet. Sudden silence, sudden heat
Every time we’re together4
Then all that fades
I am only nine years old
I’m sitting on my doorstep
You look at me, I fake a smile so you won’t see
I hear a voice in my mind
Whispering
All that’s known5

Hmm... I think that it's good but that it is a little... unfocused. I think that the message you're trying to say with it isn't as well conveyed as it could have been and that the lyrics don't all fit together to form one central idea. I think you should edit it and maybe take out some of the lyrics and add some others.

*bow* Don't know if that'll work. Either way..I loved this.
