Why are you so calm?
Why are you so happy?
They all ask
Honestly I’d rather be at the mall
But I feel safe
It’s like a home base
Don’t worry about
Mace
Guns
Drugs
I don’t mind the bugs
Hey yo cuz
I won’t respond
I’m not fully gone
I’m trying to be a good person
Faithful, loving, caring, hopeful
It’s harder than you think
It’s not all pink
I try not to blink
So I know I’m safe
I keep up my guard no matter what
Because in the end
I’ll always be treated like a mutt
