Climbing Ideals

In your eyes, am I so different,

am I so hard to understand?

I'm against the norm, you're indifferent,

Is that a reason to hang me high?

I've lived the guilt you all gave me

and I have seen it through.

I've learned you can't exclude me

even if the norm is you.

Don't count me out, it's just your ego speaking.

Don't drag me down, I'll just climb up again.

I have lived the shame of not being

someone who fits in your world,

no more; I won't go back there!

So I can die like a part of your herd.

I've learned you can't exclude me

even if the norm is you.

I've learned you can't delude me;

my field of vision has grown wider too.

You'd better watch out cause

you've crossed the wrong path.

Stay the hell away or

I'll be sure to show you wrath.

Step out from your fantasy

and meet the real world;

it's not your usual playground

for your pitiful herd.

Now, leave me be, leave me here to make my peace.

Set me free, I'll show no fear for this release.

Can't you see, can't you see I'm dying here?

Let it bleed, I was meant to climb ideals.

Don't count me out, it's just your ego speaking.

Don't drag me down, I'll just climb up again.
