I’d rather life a life others
Don’t understand
Than one I can’t stand

They don’t live in this skin
They don’t see the fights I win
Or the ones I lose

And they don’t see or understand
Why I choose what I choose

Why I go where I go
Why I stay where I stay
Why I say what I say

Some don’t understand
What I give up to go slow
Because they don’t yet know
What the cheese poets know

They don’t have to understand
But I have to live a life I can stand
