As i sit here and wonder, i hear the distant thunder
And the lightening that strikes as they walk by
Its a sad old place, when you cant change your face
If they smile they shall crack and die.
Words to me left unspoken, are surely a token
That i sure have the right, to be left alone
Its make believe friends, that always pretend
Bitter acts that they cannot condone.
I have a need to be free, without you just me
To live the life that i have always dreamed
People that judge a book by its cover
May find that book not what it seemed
I am as old as my years, I've cried lots of tears
Yet all the rivers they never run dry
I must not be a fool, that fills up the pool
Or fall victim to those who ask why
I am who i say, i was born to be this way
I would not change my lifestyle not ever
Take me as you find, don't pretend to be kind
And i shall be your good friend forever.
