Absent Minded
Sideways
Disowned for my sexuality
creatively shunned for going sideways they call it
when i speak about ghosts and psychic activity
even though i read tarot cards professionaly
If god doesnt make junk why does everyone throw me away?
they look at me sideways
after they get drunk and tell me to leave
theyd much have me live alie?
tell them im just like them
listen to them not make sense and lie to themselves?
so i try to turn the tables
and they call it sideways
I'm honest about my sexuality
and creatively im thrown away
another door another door
and another door
painted whatever color
doesnt matter
closes on me
god has already thrown me away
and then i get spiritual
sideways they call it
speak of souls and spirits and wisdom
and they ask me to leave
the straw that broke the camels back
i guess im not allowed to be me
Im sideways guys
Im gay
and read tarot cards
diagnosed as crazy
and people like to party with me
but if i mention any of the truths
that im not like them
that i read tarot cards for a living
which i no longer do
because of how many people would throw me away
perhaps out of jeaoulousy or judgemental disbelief
and if i mention im gay
they ;look at me sideways
and never mention my mental state has been misdiagnosed nine times
If god doesnt make junk
why does everyone throw me away
tell me im sideways
heck even my neighbor wiont talk to me
and all i can do is tell myself
i think im a nice guy!
but I'm sideways
creatively shunned for going sideways they call it
when i speak about ghosts and psychic activity
even though i read tarot cards professionaly
If god doesnt make junk why does everyone throw me away?
