I wore plain apparel
Tawdry and tinsel
And I felt low and defeated
Some treated me like a dirt.

I avoided people
Who gazed at me with spite
And I felt low and defeated
Some treated me like a dirt.

The voice inside my head
Told me to put suffering to an end
And I felt low and defeated
Some treated me like a dirt.

The rope hung on the ceiling
Tied loose as I stared
And I felt low and defeated
Some treated me like a dirt.

I moved the wooden stool
Below the shabby cord
And I felt low and defeated
Some treated me like a dirt.

And as the sun rose in horizon
A detail casted an obscure shadow
And I felt low and defeated
Some treated me like a dirt.
