But It's Standing...

Am I just another joke?

Am I the fool and you're the king?

Am I being used...

Just because

You find me

Laughable?

Believe it or not,

I cry.

I'm not some fire hydrant

That runs out of hydration

I'm not dry as the sand on the beach

I won't erupt in flames and die

I stand.

I stand until time is right.

When I'm with sappy wrinkles

And twinkling eyes

That have stories to tell

I'm not gonna fall

Under red paint

I'm gonna cry.

But I'm still going to-

Live.

Even if I scrape my life and bones, I won't be chewed up till I'm dull and bland and under trashy words.
