Just a Look
A smile that proves I’m good but a frown so bad,
No backpack on my shoulder but my heart to drag,
Long gone from the scene of the crime without a tag,
Over seen as dangerous just because my Levi jean’s sag,
Carrying the sorrows in my mind with a heavy duty plastic bag,
No surrender against the world so throw away the white flag,
Whipping the sweat off my forehead with a torn rag,
No gossip but little birdies do brag.
