Living In Infamy

I live in infamy alone and unafraid I see what is coming and brace myself I know and love people of all different shades Even though they offer me no help When I fall down I pick myself up When I am out I get right back in I will make it if I have to hop, skip, or jump If it suddenly ends I will find a new way to begin The day slowly fades and goes away Leaving me here to face the night I try to keep the cold at bay With the thought of the coming sunlight Many people they know who I am Yet they look right through me If they see me they see a lonely man A man who is forced to live in infamy
