DON'T CARE
Out upon the banister
I see and feel and know
I make your life easier
Though the ways I do not show
I keep the pesterings away
I help you along your path
So when you turn and disrespect
I wanna shove my foot right up your ass
I put myself out
I hang in the breeze
I only do it, can't you see
To bring all of you ease
I weather the elements
I survive on my own
I make your world a better place
Though no thanks am I shown
I do it not for compensation
Not for thanks or things held high
I do it for myself
My own sense of pride
I shelter you from many things
I clear your path of clutter
Can you fathom how it makes me feel
When you drag me through the gutter?
Maybe I should just step aside
And let you truly see
All the things I shield you from
And destroy your world of beauty
You've all had it easy
And it is to me that you should thank
You show no smile, no love, no peace
No honor or no memory of the things that I have done
You dare to show me disrespect
You dare to do me wrong
You don't even talk to me
You go above my head
They say hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn
You ain't seen shit yet
You wanna have it "technical"
You want it done by the book
Well tell me that later
When your dreams have been robbed by crooks
Well let you have it your way
I'll let you see your fall
And when it hurts and when you scream
My name I won't hear you call
Writhe around like I did
Maybe it will make you strong
But don't come with soulful eyes
Because I know you're fucking wrong
Reap what you sow
Harvest what you reap
Keep to yourself
Your own counsel you'll now keep
I was my hand
I am done
Look to others
For times of fun
I hold your world together
With strands as fine as hair
Stronger than the hardest steel
And you don't even care
I hold it in the middle
Strong and pure and shining
Behind the scenes, but now I'm gone
And I don't wanna hear your whining
Lay in your own mess
I hope you like it there
For now it is my turn
To no longer care
