I feel
Yes, I feel
That sometimes it is necessary to be cynical
There just comes that breaking point
Where you have to get out of your maddening mind
Face your own reflecting image in a mirror
And say those few words
Those few words that hold the truth
To your million faulting thoughts
"You're not as bad as you think you are, Gladys"
write it down and read it out loud, if you must .
you're not as bad as you've let yourself deceive.
