Hairy
hairy's an ape
who can't take shape
and it makes him scratch his head
it causes him pain
to use his brain
& sometimes he'd rather be dead
where he lives is rough
so he's supposed to be tough
but somehow he just can't do it
because he thinks 'why?'
and it makes him cry
he feels he can't get through it
if you live in a place
called the human race
and you're supposed to be awfully clever
it can be misplaced
to show your face
when what's behind is showing it's fever
it's not okay to be that way
nave & simple & kind
they make him cry
and want to die
and lose his tortured mind
so he learns to lie
and hide himself
behind the usual faces
to fight for food
and beat the rest
& the hell with usual graces
but his heart still feels
and his mind informs
& he knows it isn't right
that the love he feels deep inside
gets twisted out of sight
& it makes him sweat
to think with regret
of all he did for a 'future'
and he feels so lost
when he counts the cost
of 'success' against his nature
he hoped to be part
but parted himself
and now he's all alone
what once was one
is all undone
and in place of his mouth
is a gun

A well worded weaving, drowning in sorrow and smelling of truth.
