All I have to do
Is look your way and you cringe with fear
You’d do anything just for a chance
To be liked by me
To even be like me
Don’t feel bad
Everyone else cringes too
I’m not sure what I’ve done to be labeled this way
Truth is all I want is to be like you
Even if just for a little while
Someone simple and barely noticed
Able to come and go as they please
Not worried about what others see, think, or feel
Just existing here under a thick skin
Not sentenced to the life I live in
With all eyes on me
Begging to come in
Expecting things I’m not sure I can give
One thing is certain
I truly don’t desire to be leader of the pack
Maybe you can help me find my way back
And get me away from this pack
Leader of the Pack©
