Don't Just Stand There


Why look at me like I’m a monster?  Did I do something wrong like an imposter?

You think that you’re better than me?  Assuming you is living wild and free.

At least lend me hand as a true friend, or your back will be stabbed at the end.

Don’t pretend that you can’t hear from all the screams and cries of fear.

Don’t just stand there.  Look at what is in front of you.

And what you see is clear.  That I’m also here for you too,

And everyone else who cares; there is nothing better in your life to do.
