Try to Accept


I’m the world’s worst Manic Depressive.
I can’t even get that right.
I go around trying to be reasonable.
While inside me two dragons fight.

I’m afraid to show my emotions,
I’m not sure I even know how.
I misread the signals of others.
I’m labelled a miserable cow.

I’ve tried to be part of the rat race
And it fits me like Granddad’s old suit.
I can’t quite do up the jacket.
I have to admit, I’m a fruit.

There’s so much about life in general
That doesn’t agree with my frame.
I’ve thought of moving to other spots,
Or even of changing my name.

I feel I’ve been thrown down a Black Hole.
I’m stranded in a dark silent well.
The further I stray from the portal,
The surer I am this is hell.

When I am surrounded by nature
I feel I can be at my ease.
I’m not like the others. Let’s face it:
I’ll do as I damned well please.
