A Fair Weather Friend Is No Friend At All

The words your eyes speak
Cover ground your lips will never travel
You call me equal, call me friend
But your eyes, they say you lie
They show me your disgust, your ridicule
You will never have respect for another but yourself
And never me, never me
So inferior to you I am
Lesser in every way, to you
Not pretty enough to love and not a man
These alone the reasons of your despise
