Perfectly Human

He pretends to be okay to the

pain he can’t name, an’ is too ashamed 

As he tries to say, things’ll never change 

‘cuz people are all the same

But no one listens, their dismissive

And’ he feels locked in a cage 

His atomic gage stays tame

They patronize his presence 

accuse him of being on the defensive 

Relax now brother ‘n’ breathe

this insanity is enough to drive anyone 

crippled to their knees

Try an keep your senses, ‘cuz 

systems are built with duct tape fences 

an’ only one gate 😉 

But your pain, is something we can all relate
