When you long to be noticed and loved for who you are, that you’ll do anything. Even if it means being like everyone else. (The first line I thought I heard in a song, and this is what came out.)
The rhino craze
It’s a big deal in this world
Everyone running around in gray fat suits
as if I needed that!
Just paint me gray and get on with it
The world couldn’t find me then
I’d hide between the rocks
Home with the worms
that’s my place
that’s where I belong
Alone among the worm poo!
They’d plant flowers around me, and I’d be safe
all the while never knowing
the paint might wash off when it rained
and they could find me again
They might love me then
I might have a place in this world then
It’s been years since I’ve seen the sun
fighting to feel it underneath my coat of armor
But that’s it for you, girl
What’s your explanation they asked
I glared unfeeling
The rhino craze
