get happy

Instead of looking,
                    (and looking and looking and looking and-
                                                )

I’m going to find a way to have fun.

perhaps

someone will see me

&

will wonder

why I’m so happy

&

will want to be a part of it.

You aint strong enough

you burn crosses

while I sleep

I don’t care,

I won’t weep.

nothing it seems,

you won’t try,

but you will not

make me cry.

see, you aint strong enough.

try to stab me

in my heart

your hatred

won’t tear

me apart.

I’ve been around,

I know the game.

hatred is hatred

by any name.

see, you aint strong enough.

despite my attempts

to live my dreams,

you try real hard

to bust the seams.

you try real hard

to show concern,

but the crosses,

I’m told,

are the crosses you’ve burned

see, you aint strong enough.

(try harder next time)

It

what have we here

(    finally   i

    have seen

the other side and the dark-

ness thereof.

of you.

there. I know you now. 'cause

i shone a flashlight. secretly-yes,

indeed a flashlight I shone.

finally.

seeing through your best disguise,

exposing what others see,

the YOU       ) well, well, well.

(     looks like the knife that was lodged in my back has your initials on it          ) my friend,

oh buddy,

oh pal,

what have we here ?
