The Other Guy
I'm just a Guy with brown eyes,
Those who know me say I'm nice.
A friend of friends to begin,
But I like to laugh and make you
grin.
My life is the same yet unlike most,
Odd are the things worth a boast.
And my achievements do not
define,
I'm like most that enjoys my life.
I've lived and have loved deeply,
Felt sadness and known what wrath
be.
Seen life from out many windows.
Some from plans, cars, or hotels.
Life is a step like passing days,
Dinner has came from tables or
trays.
Love has left me speechless in
silence,
I've been treated like a bum to a
prince.
Stood in line, also bypassed to the
front,
Life can cause you to say, What!
I'm down to earth which is
humbling,
I'm only what this life has made me.
And even then I'm always changing,
The simple life of laughs and peace.
To enjoy my ups and coming
blessings
And knowing being down isn't
everlasting.
I'm just a Guy with brown eyes,
A man as life could only define...
