Turd In the Grass

I refuse to feel like a turd in the grass Laying there till I become petrified No one coming to pick me up They see me as the low of the low Laying there till I become petrified Of no value to anyone else They see me as the low of the low I lay here alone in the tall grass Of no value to anyone else Is this all there is to my existance I lay here alone in the tall grass It is time for me to rise to my feet Is this all there is to my existence This is not the life of which I dreamed It is time for me to rise to my feet Passion for living energizes my life This is not the life of which I dreamed No one coming to pick me up It's time for me to rise to my feet I refuse to feel like a turd in the grass Dedicated to Colleen Bono, she always jokes that I can write about a Turd in the grass and make it sound good. This one is for you Kiddo

Having a little dog that I give walks frequently I know exactly what you're coming from! What's worse than having no use for anyone is becoming the stink on their shoe... ha ha! You CAN write about a turd in the grass... who would have thought :)
