me

by ricky joe sternwall

i don’t mean to whine i just want what’s mine i want my fellow humans to realize that i am one of those special guys i am not like those other folks those losers, wasters, mopes, and mokes those fish in a barrel waiting to get shot i am not like them - honest i’m not i’m the one who knows the score the one you have all been waiting for if i could just catch a break the world i would remake it is really elemental if i could just reach my potential if i could just be wild and free the world would revolve around me the way it was meant to be why can’t you all see? stop saying no to me and say yes and recognize my uniqueness i’m the one who was prophesied through the universe to glide wiping out the whole world’s frown if you would only stop bringing me down
