It seems these days I walk in silence It seems these days are turning gloomy gray, It seems these days I walk into turbulence And the sands of time are slipping away *** I don't want any one's assistance Unless you're here to stay, But I will fight with all resistance If you try to put me on a poster for display *** For I am a human being! Even if my body is a shell, And you just might have trouble seeing How someone can go through a personal hell!
