The Character
Who's to say
What part they play
Our story is each our own
You may be the protanginist of your story
Yet the antagonist in all its glory
In the story of a foe
A mailman of no conseguence to me
Is the main character in a tragedy
Yet I would never know
To others I'm the bumbling fool
I'm the exception, not the rule
How I wish they'd care
That I am more than what they see
Not just someone who happened to be
A minor character in their show
I laugh at stupid movie quotes
And when I'm cold I wear three coats
Maybe they do to
I cry at touching cartoon scenes
And spend hours rewashing my favorite pair of jeans
Just so i feel comfortable
I never walk on sidewalk cracks
I'm bad at cards (and also jacks)
And I've never really cared
I lay awake at night sometimes
Remembering cheesy pick-up lines
And I can't help but smile
The oddest things seem to touch my heart
Like a cool breeze when I've been running hard
Yes, it's odd. I know.
Yet all they see
When they look at me
Is the bumbling fool
And I do the same to the mailman...
