It’s been a long day,
It’s been a tough time.
You’re just looking for
A place to unwind:
Too bad for you,
The world doesn’t care.
No rest for the tired,
And life isn’t fair!
Now deal with your pains,
Push down all your sores,
Hang up your hopes,
Get ready for more!
No wonder we’re so weary all the time…
Have you ever had someplace to rest,
Some little pillow to lay your hanging head on?
The rest of the people have someplace to go,
Do you?
I thought so.
You’re working so hard,
Does anyone know?
Try telling them now,
They’ll tell you to go.
If no one will listen,
If no one will try,
Correct their behavior
And spit in their eye!
No wonder we’re so bitter all the time…
Have you ever had someplace to rest,
Some little pillow to lay your hanging head on?
The rest of the people have someplace to go,
Do you?
And when you cry and scream at night,
Refuse to use your limitations;
Ignore all their petty words
And start your own regeneration
It’s a disease that no one’s cured it,
It’s a lesson no one’s learned yet
Will you be the first to know?
Will you be the first to go?
No wonder we’re so lonely all the time…
Have you ever had someplace to exist,
Some little planet to be your own sweet self on?
The rest of the people have someplace to shine,
Do you?
I thought so.

You know, I love when you comment and it's all of... wait, counting... NINE words long and yet that itty-bitty little sentence has the power to make my day. It really excersizes that ability, too. Thanks so much, Lady V. I don't think you know what you do but you really do it well.

The last bit is really wonderful! "The rest of the people have someplace to shine,/Do you?" Love it. This kind of reads like lyrics, and then I got to the refrain and thought, this really reads like lyrics. It's got that whole social-issue-thing going for it. The only sore-thumbish bit is the "spit in the their eye" line, everything else is really great. The rhyme is smooth and the meaning well-expressed. We just need to try to reach out to others, show them ourselves, make them listen. Or go to therapy and pay for it.
