Hear Me Out

I was born and raised in the thick of trees,
No polished paths, just untamed breeze.
Men like me don’t need a home,
We thrive where beasts and shadows roam.

I’m not afraid if she walks away,
I’ll smile and shrug, like it’s all okay.
She ruined my life, but hey, she’s fine,
Beauty can shatter, but it’s still divine.

I miss the days my smile was real,
When life wasn’t just a spinning wheel.
Where’s the switch to reset my brain?
It’s filled with junk, just pure disdain.

Maybe love ain’t made for me,
Or maybe it’s a game I’ll never see.
They hate us ‘cause we’re too damn good,
We stand where the fearless once stood.

If I die, dress me sharp, my friend,
Send me off, with no loose end.
Don’t bury me near, send me far,
To where the promised lands are.

Trash the nudes, send your credit card,
Life’s a hustle, it’s never too hard.
In the end, we’ll toast with love,
To all the people we’re still thinking of.
