This Is Why I Keep To Myself

This is why I keep to myself Cause if I didn’t Life would be finished And all would see and be all up in it So at times I do regret it But don’t ban me ‘cause you can’t stand it Nor do you try to understand it I love my life it’s not for granted That I choose to be a loner Instead of on the scene a goner Minding mine and tilling my ground Until the treasure I have found I speak the truth and I keep it raw A soul so young you never saw To develop the mind of ripe old age From the beginning of my days You do not like me and I am somewhat content You reject me but Bishop is heaven sent In His kingdom call me resident For I am king and not a peasant My cold eyes you try to avoid A mask you think to a heart devoid Of human emotion and of compassion Until you decide to come a-asking And then you come to see that me The one you never thought to see Could be the one to keep you right And place you up upon the tree As deluges begin to fall And flood the earth of all that crawls And now you think to never stall And judge a man who stands tall This is why I keep to myself This is why I lean on Him and myself Not to say you are unworthy But trust a trait I don’t take flirting I came into your presence humble You looked me in the eye and mumbled Do I know you? For surely I don’t That reaction is something not want I try to open and extend a greeting But you leave me with looks and feelings quite fleeting So now I feel it was a mistake For me to enter and try to undertake This mission of find people like minded When in the end they feel quite binded So I took the tape and I rewinded To the moment that I decided To say hello, to shake your hand To hug your person and say God bless And ask myself why go through this You are an outcast for you know this This is why I keep to myself…
