Told I need to be smarter, a penny for the thought
mugged off, of no wars fought
no penitentiary, a different direction walked
from life in tension to good intentions to create a mind like a fort
to venture fourth from the third degrees to do 180 on lessons retaught
a D for art but I'll score the highest score on the board, that will be the retort
mistakes of missed takes will never be passed the torch
been told many times I'm abhorred, that's ok only one human I want to be fantastic for
one opportunity slipped or maybe more
for they don't shine the light for what I'm looking for, for their feelings sore
as the mind plays tricks on what I could've caught
who I could've courted, but most were brain dead tricks following the zombie hordes
the social whores who think all men will come when sex is called
then act appalled when the offer falls
upon deaf ears of those who want more than legs sprawled
and claim they're not real men, as it's what their exploration taught
then turn so touch starved they follow the wilderness call, to be mauled
a bear hug of hatred restored, outpoured, you gonna hear them Roar
yet it's guys fault that they're battered and bruised, used by dawn
guess it's not surprising when pop artists are their mentors.
If not this life then maybe the next, but I swear I'll find the cure
to be worthy of who I'll adore.
