Because I'm Human
The eyes of them follow me and I cringe under their observations
Why won't they leave me alone? they never leave me alone…
All I wanted to do was go out and see things, do things, feel things
But they wouldn't stop looking at me, so after a little while… I quit going out
They told me then that I was lazy and their mouths took over where their
Eyes had been before… berating me for not ever having anything to do
Speaking as if I were a lump of nothing with no plans and no goals
Then I tried doing both… staying and going… and I got the eyes and the mouths
Always at me driving me mad- making me want to scream and run
So I did scream and let them know my intentions before I left… then I ran
And since then I've been everywhere… not always good not always bad
Free… without those eyes and mouths… those opinions that I am shit
When I fail now, it is unto myself… and it's okay 'cause I say so
Don't come in here and yell at me anymore
I can't help it you feel like shit
Take it out on someone who will let you
'Cause I'm not the one
You want so much to find out who you are
And you hate me for being me
Don't you understand?
I can't help what I've become
And you have to be who you are
Don't be like me because it is "interesting"
Just be you… you're so sweet and kind
Not a bitch at all like you pretend to be now
Definately not like me
Those people who drive your mind
They don't give a damn about you
It is all in what looks good for now
But tomorrow
You might be their next discussion
When you fail like I do will you be human too?
