dare to care

who dares to care?

probably none of y'all

mans caught in a snare?

just let him crawl

oh he's caught in a stare?

just let him fall

oh he's narcissistic?

just wish him hell

no grace, cold, rigid?

just wish him well

he's got prideful wishes?

break him and make him tell

did he desire healing?

well that's too bad, right?

he's the one who lost feeling

in that empty dark night

he shoulda been kneeling

instead he tried to fight

but it was in his own way, huh?

he stumbled, spiritually dumb

no we wont seek him, duh

i mean by now he's ugly and numb

no we don't miss him, what?

what trophy had he ever won?

 

they see he had an ache so deep

that very few might understand

Five heavy profound diagnoses

but alone he wrestled, alone he ran

so if he is finally collapsing, choking

maybe that was Gods ultimate plan

 

NO! all of y'all are sick or blind

NO! he was so beautiful inside

Why did you never try to pry

Why did you indifferently decide

To let him be shy

You just passed him by

But he still prays we all shine

He prays for open eyes

Id venture to say none of y'all are fine

come out friends, you don't have to hide

that's what our boy who overwhelmed you

the guy who hated striking up fear

was up too, he saw that walking in stealth

never brought anybody near

so when he started ringing those loud bells

he only sought to warn of what's near

y'all didnt have to get so ancy in his presence

he only had a few friends, so of course he didnt know

how to chill, maybe his speech was aggressive

but he always desired growth

to just be whole

He hates that he couldn't show

That he longed to connect
