MISERY LOVES COMPANY…………………

TO BE DESOLATE AND ALONE

AND CRITICIZE ME

TO BE ANGRY AND GRIM

AND CHASTISE ME

TO BE JEALOUS AND HURT

AND BLACKBALL ME

PURE ADULTERATED EVIL

SURROUNDS YOUR AURA

MISERY LOVES COMPANY…………………

"YOU'RE NOT PRETTY ENOUGH"

"YOU DON'T FIT IN"

"YOU WILL NEVER MAKE IT"

"YOU MAY AS WELL GIVE UP"

HARSH REMARKS SPEW FROM YOUR LIPS

LIKE THE FIERY MASS OF THE DEVIL HIMSELF

BURNING, SCORCHING AND TORTURING MY SELF-WORTH

WHITTLED DOWN TO ASH AND SCRAPS

MISERY LOVES COMPANY………………….

FOR ONCE CAN YOU COMMEND ME ON A "JOB WELL DONE"?

AND EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE LOOK UPON ME AS AN EQUAL?

OR HOW ABOUT A SPORADIC "WISH YOU WELL" DRIVE-BY?

AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, SPRINKLE IN A COUPLE OF "THANK YOU'S"?

YOU CAN'T

YOU WON'T

YOU REFUSE

YOU REBUT

YOU KICK AND SCREAM

YOU FIGHT AND BITE

YOU LAY YOUR LAW DOWN AND ABSOLUTELY SNUB THE IDEA

BUT GUESS WHAT?

I'M STILL HERE

I'M GOING STRONG

I'LL CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD AND CARRY ON

I DON'T NEED YOUR APPROVAL

I DON'T NEED YOUR PERMISSION

TO HELL WITH YOUR FOOLISHNESS

I REFUSE TO PLAY THIS CRAFTY GAME

AND BESIDES, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY?

………………….ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

SO VAMOOSE, MISERY! YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE

NO ONE WANTS TO COME OUT AND PLAY

NO FRIENDSHIP WITH YOU WILL EVER EXIST

YOU WILL WALK DOWN THE ROAD OF DESTRUCTION ALONE

THE SUNSHINE AND BLUE SKIES ARE ON MY SIDE

YOU ARE THE COMPANY YOU KEEP

I JUST UNINVITED MYSELF FROM YOUR PITY-PARTY

………………………………………EXIT, STAGE LEFT
