The Expendable Heartbeat

If you'd stop and listen I have a heart too, I have a soul, I have feelings, I love just the same. You say I can't make my own decisions as you decide my future, you say I can't speak up because I don't count in your book. My voice is too small, my eyes don't see the full world, my hands can't grasp reality yet. My feet have never tread it's own trail so it won't matter since I haven't left my mark. You choke me until my heart can't see everything it did before. There's no more soothing voice speaking to me in tongues, no voice saying its gonna be ok. Don't think I didn't know, I heard everything from the wingman to the right, but I still don't understand one thing

What did I do wrong?
