U can eat what U want, anything is cool in moderation

i wouldn't beg U
instead of playing deduction of what 2 do
they called me rude often
when i called their hand
they judged me and told me that we're through
"y can't U be like the others?"
i cried out over and again
"y can't U learn 2 play by the rules?"
but maybe at last it's the end
because i am not like others
i'm unique in the respect i'm not U

i know in my heart i would try 2 love U
i wouldn't try 2 hurt U despite all the ways U hurt me
u call me a fraud, an uncaring wretch
but I'm a (mad) artist and my only aim is 2 please
between U and yours, myself and mine
isn't life cruel enough without cruel words, cruel words?
u see, words are like shoes
they're just something 2 stand on
i wish U could be in my shoes...
what would life be if we believed what we read
and a smile is just hiding a frown?
come now, isn't life a little better with a pair of good shoes?
