Now don't get me wrong, This whole time that I was trying to understand What you wanted, I couldn't help but notice That I can't make sense of it all along. This and that, blind tales, you have my full Undivided attention, filling my head with Strange and odd promises, telling me that Although it seems unreal, you could just Let them all in. If I took your "sound" advice, If I'm alone, I could sleep with people on the street, Put all of my food and drink upon The ground, drag food around, your obsession That I should feel fine to just pick it up and eat, To try to defy my "religious" obsession, always Try to be the one in charge, look for opportunities To go off and put away or slay the "baddies" at large, Become the person of the hour, or a follower, Get a job where I can sweep floors and wipe tables, So that I'll really be excited for the first time doing What I do for a living, even if I'm not really able. Who cares if this life throws everything bad at me, I'm ready to attack all of the things that hold me back, Even go for the things that don't interest me, instead of Letting them be! YES, I believe "everyone" should work, Even if they are really lost, psychologically unwell, Major transportation issues and other real Problems, No matter what we've been through, No matter the actual real life hell, We were all brought into this world to be JUST LIKE YOU as well!

A Rant About Being You
Now don't get me wrong, This whole time that I was trying to understand What you wanted, I couldn't help but notice That I can't make sense of it all along. This and that, blind tales, you have my full Undivided attention, filling my head with Strange and odd promises, telling me that Although it seems unreal, you could just Let them all in. If I took your "sound" advice, If I'm alone, I could sleep with people on the street, Put all of my food and drink upon The ground, drag food around, your obsession That I should feel fine to just pick it up and eat, To try to defy my "religious" obsession, always Try to be the one in charge, look for opportunities To go off and put away or slay the "baddies" at large, Become the person of the hour, or a follower, Get a job where I can sweep floors and wipe tables, So that I'll really be excited for the first time doing What I do for a living, even if I'm not really able. Who cares if this life throws everything bad at me, I'm ready to attack all of the things that hold me back, Even go for the things that don't interest me, instead of Letting them be! YES, I believe "everyone" should work, Even if they are really lost, psychologically unwell, Major transportation issues and other real Problems, No matter what we've been through, No matter the actual real life hell, We were all brought into this world to be JUST LIKE YOU as well!
