I Am And They're (The Ugly Truth)

Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them. - Thoreau

they don't like my music, let alone its loud blare

don't care for my lack of hair

they go for the elevator while i opt for the stair

matter of fact, they hate the whole affair

they' don't come right out and say it but rather quietly declare

at least i share my truth that's within, laid bare

ever talking to the man upstairs in prayer

at least i dare

and that gives them a scare

ask me if i care

it's not my fault we were made to breathe the same air

not all sound plays fair

in a world where there's little room to spare

and the rock is too heavy for most to bear

Author's Note

"What men call social virtues, good fellowship, is commonly but the virtue of pigs in a litter, which lie close together to keep each other warm." - Thoreau
