telling me not to cry
to wipe away my tears
is asking me at an interview
to hide amoung the fears

it's scary and daunting
and awful to presume
that i would be fine
i would be the same as you

because you and i are different
two people, two souls beside
standing next to each other
standing eye to eye

regardless i will sob my heart
out onto the floor
asking someone else
what is life good for?

don't hark at me and laugh
telling me i'm a child
i am in fact much like you
stupid, dumb and wild

this year has been the worst
and as it sinks down lower
i often wonder to myself
is this year getting slower?

i feel if it were different
or said in another way
i would just be as sad
tomorrow and today

so don't tell me not to cry
not to emote in any way
because i am as sad as i always am
yesterday, tomorrow and today
