As Seen From The Bench
We need to go beyond our myths and look at things dryly, from the bench.
If you tell it like it is, you won’t be liked.
If you dress like you want to, you won’t be liked.
If you learn what you’re interested in, you won’t be successful.
If you do what you want to, you won’t be successful.
I’m telling you …
If you are kind and giving, you won’t be loved.
If you say you don’t know, you won’t be admired.
If you don’t have lots of stuff, you won’t be respected.
If you refuse to put your hand over your heart, you won’t be invited.
If you are honest with your own soul, you won’t be accepted at all.
Show me an honest man.
Show me a man true to his own self
and I’ll show you
a lonely man
a poor man
but a man.
