Baring My Crosses


I bare my soul
     And I bear my crosses
          Only to have my pain ridiculed
You set me up
     Just to be able to laugh
          When you made me look the fool

I used to hear how "all of us"
     Should go out after work for a drink;
Now I hear what "all of you"
     Are doing secondhand
I used to think I knew you
     Now I don't know what to think
In your eyes
     I know not where I stand

All I want is to somehow feel I belong:
How can you possibly see that as being wrong?
