A blessed curse
"It could be worse."
Stupid things I've always heard.
Don't say a word.
I know my life isn't the worst tragedy there is
I scream that from the top of my terrace.
Everyone says sorry,
they know how I feel.
I laugh at the thought, they don't know what it's like to really worry.
They don't know what it's like to have your insides reel.
Cursed so young with disability
I conquer each day with intense agility.
Sick and Twisted
in the most literal sense
Never visited
by so-called friends.
I know what you're thinking
But I don't want your pity
Yeah, my height is shrinking
Don't make me out to be a titty
Hell yeah, I'm mad
Why me?
But it's not that bad
I'm not what happened to me.
I could be what I want
I could say what I want
I could quit everything
and no one would say anything
They'd have no right
Walk my walk
Fight my fight
Then tell me I'm wrong
This road's so long
But I can take it
Twisted and bent and all distorted
All things unsorted.
