Unacceptance

Running at the speed of light,

Through slush and goo and mud

But still going so slow,

Occasionally landing with a thud

Speeding through affairs,

A determined goal in mind

But having that one obstacle,

Always falling far behind

Slow and steady wins the race?

I don't think so, not at this pace

For us we're going too fast,

That's how we perceive it

For others we're just way too slow,

Another target for them to hit

They don't seem to understand,

All the troubles that we face

We just never really speak of it,

So they don't give us any space

To get through life,

We have to yell

Because being nice,

No, that won't sell

Welcome to Earth,

Where have I been?

Lost in a fantasy,

Where I'd done no sins
