Face It Mr. Somebody(Heaven Awaits)
R. Dafremen

You people had to go and do it
Went and sent me there
To that dangerous place where feelings go
Where feelings come from too
Damn! Here I sit, all ansy and clammy-handed
Waiting to see what you've written
Waiting to see what you think of my latest creations
Like a kid on Christmas morning
Am I REALLY so pathetically dependent
Upon your approvals and validations?
Do my emotions really swing on such a whim as this?
Part of me embraces the notion
The rest of me fights it tooth and nail
Weakness hurts, people hurt
Opening myself to pain and humiliation again
As if I hadn't sworn that I learned my lesson many times ago
But here I go again

Fool! Basking in the folly of casual compliments
Smelling the sweet rosey glow of hope for dreams
Have you forgotten the prick of rosey thorns
Or the sound of smashing dreams in G Minor?
Have you forgotten the tear-soaked pillows?
The late night sobs that carefully bound the wounds
Of your last public outing Mr. Macho Invincible?
Have you forgotten the lonely months of throbbing heartache
That followed your failed "success"?
I was there to nurse you through it
To pick up the tiny pieces of your self-esteem
And glue them back together
While you hid behind your hardest expression
Behind your widest smile
Face it Mr. Somebody
Face the nobodiness that is your reality for a change.

But they liked it? Didn't you see they liked it?
They smiled, I am so SURE that they smiled this time
Not a smirk, not a grudge-stifled snicker
A real smile of enjoyment!
Please! Oh please let's do this
They'll be different, it'll be different this time
And they seem so nice, they seem so real
Can't we give it a try? Can't we give them a shot?
C'mon Mr. Grumpy-Doom-And-Gloom
Heaven awaits!

Fine, have it your way
Traipse off to "heaven" if you must
It's your funeral anyhow
I'll be waiting here
With the gauze, the glue
And a cup full of heartfelt remorse.
