Nope. Not going there.
Not when all the cards are in your hand
Not when it means someone loses, even when
they win
Because in your game
Even winners lose.
Changing the rules
Changing the stakes
Hiding the aces
Stirring the pot
Can't even change what you can't know.
That I already win
Because games aren't life
And I learned that long ago.
I learned that a true friend laughs with
you, not at you
Supports your beliefs, not mocks them
Dances for your joys and stands silent for
your pain.
I just don't get it.
I don't get why we want so much to be
adults
To grow up --
But behave like children when we arrive.
Or why a helping hand, given in love,
Can be pushed away with jealous hatred.
Has the world hardened you so much
That your voice cannot sing unless it
hurts someone else?
I sing for you, but you don't listen.
I dance, but you turn away
Sometimes I catch you watching
And I get caught up, thinking you've
changed --
But your eyes turn cold
If just to look for another wound to make,
Or thing to take,
Or heart to break --
Because that's the only way your heart
stays whole.
Don't expect me to change.
I still sing, because it brings me joy
I dance because it makes my heart sing,
And I will still do them because it's who
I AM.
In a perfect world, there is room for all
I just wish I could make you see
Because the world would be a better place
If the truth didn't hurt
And the blind chose to see
That there is enough for all to have a
role
Run their show
And take a bow.
Once the curtain is closed
You'll see
That
I'm so much more than you supposed me to be.
