A Rhetorical Question


I guess I am pathetic
As Our Lady Peace says, an ordinary boy and ordinary name  …
but ordinary’s just not good enough today
But that is ok … I have been waiting, watching
Watching her with the jerk who mistreat her
Her incompetents in the matter push my will
I see the lies she puts before herself, the lies she seems to love
Should I be a jerk, so that I don’t stay this way?
She’ll come then running … trying to change me
She’ll try to make me a nice guy, but I will fool her
I will become a lie, I will appear to disown all I hold dear
Then she will come running trying to play hero
She’ll try to make myself Mr. Nice guy
Yet all the time I will be a lie, she won’t know that
I am a nice guy, an ordinary guy, everyone’s friend
Yet that is not right is it?
What would I be if I went though with this?
How could I be a truly honest man and live a lie
Hmmm
Yes … I would be the biggest jerk of all time
So would it be a lie?
Alas, I cannot turn to what I am not, so I guess I will remain
Ordinary





 There's a peace inside us all
Let it be your friend
It will help you carry on
In the end
There's a peace inside us all

hey! ordinary is not such a bad way to be  
plus nothing good ever comes out from a lie.
Well Done!


take care
