Prose - What You Don't Understand
What you don’t understand
Is that I don’t think like you
I don’t wait in line
Because there is nothing that I need
What you don’t understand
Is that I’m not turned on like you
I’m not a thrill seeker
Because I don’t crave speed
What you don’t understand
Is that I’m not impressed
I don’t have to prove my manhood
Because I already planted that seed
What you don’t understand
Is that I don’t keep up with you
I don’t care anymore
Because I am not full of greed
What you don’t understand
Is that you cannot control me
I will make you angry
Because we never agreed
What you don’t understand
Is that I don’t live in your world
I’m not trendy
Because all I do is lead
What you don’t understand
Is that you cannot reach me
I am not vulnerable
Because I will never bleed
What you don't understand
Is why I won’t laugh
I am not fooled
Because you are so full of need
What you don’t understand
Is that it will never work
I will not be compromised
Because your plan will never succeed
What you don’t understand
Is that I have checked out
I don’t live to be happy
Because of the life that I lead
What you don’t understand
Is that I seek the truth
I reject what you stipulate
Because I don’t eat what you feed
What you don’t understand
Is that you will never know
I don’t have to explain
Because I have my own creed
What you don’t understand
Is that I will soon be gone
I only warn you
Because I want you to take heed
What you don’t understand
Is that I don’t have to run
I will never follow
Because I will always precede
What you don’t understand
Is that you will never understand
I will prompt questions
Because I will always mislead
What you don’t understand
Is that your time is short
You will soon wilt
Because freedom will kill a weed
