I

I can't help who I am.
I can't help how I act.
I can't help that I don't give a damn.
I can't help what's fact.
I'm sorry you're distressed.
I'm sorry you're frustrated.
I'm sorry you feel that your feelings are repressed.
I'm sorry you think you're far from elated.
So many different problems and things.
So many different views.
So many different ways that hate brings.
So many different things that people use.
I can't help that you don't like me.
I can't help that I don't follow the crowd.
I can't help that you think I'm not "free".
I can't help that you think I'm too loud.
