Disturbed
Some people don’t know they smell
Inside my mind it makes me yell
Why on earth can’t they tell
It’s offensive the way they smell
Excuse me, I have a nose.
It has a complaint my whole body knows
The more they’re around it just grows and grows
I don’t even think they know
I just got the notion that it’s scary
Homeless or not, it’s not ordinary
Lack of water or change of clothes
Dirty underwear socks with holes
If people can smell you from six feet away
Know it or not you ruined a day
No matter the environment you just may
Be the cause of confusion and utter dismay
I’ve never met an animal that smelled that much
Only humans have that type of disgust
Sometimes athletes stink with must
But this something I smell
is worse than I can cuss
Eviction, conviction, you can run away from smoke
It may make me sick I just want to choke
If it weren’t so near me I wouldn’t write
But these words of mine is me in a fight
Love can change a persons day
A smile and hello have a certain sway
The smell of food can pave the way
But rotting corpses should stay away
