What were you expecting?
That your status stops me from rejecting?
You don't know what I'm all about
You just can't figure me out
Sure I looked like exactly what you wanted
I'm even sure I fit the bill
But the chain that you'd have held me with
Could not help you make the kill
See, I'm not you're usual friend
And I get bored being anyone's enemy
You may not want this to end
But you can't handle the responsibility
Doesn't it suck to be you?
The one person you could've trusted
You hold no power over her
Now the jig is up, you're busted!
I get insulted when you try to use these things
I'm not the least bit impressed
It's either you talk to me like a real person
Or I will lose my interest
We can't all buy someone
And not everyone can be sold
And yes a couple of times you've tried to trick me
But honestly your schemes are getting old
It's now or never Mister
You ain't got a lot of time
You may say patience is a virtue
But it's not one of mine
Get off your high horse
And stop spinning tales!
Come down to my level
I'll put some wind in your sails
You look a little scared
You aren't coming at all, are you?
I thought you said you cared
Ha, ha, this is why I'm always prepared
I see your calculating eyes
Wondering what to do next?
My book is open for you to read it
And here's a comforting text:
I didn't mean to throw you off your game
I just needed you to break out of your shell
I didn't want you to stay the same
Trusting only the ones you can buy or sell
I am a different sort of creature
You know, someone that's free and true
The type of friend that never gets old
We exist, sorry you never knew
With me, your balance was way off
I didn't mean to tip your scales
I just needed you realise the real in front of you
And stop making up your own fairytales.
S.K.Malcolm
