THE STRANGER IN THE ROOM
Here i am in the middle of the room
Lonely and alone, i'm filled with a sense of doom
Everything seems oh - so - foreign
It's so confusing being in strange terrain
The people look at me,pointing and whispering
To me it sounds like they are telling me to stop interfering
I know no one so i stand there in silence
Waiting for some kind of permission or license
I look up and see a lady smiling in my direction
I almost smile back but i notice she's looking behind me.....classic rejection
It's like i'm nothing to everyone here
They just keep staring me down,it's like they can smell my fear
I'm terrified and horrified, i think i shouldn't have come
My heart is pounding so hard against my ear drums
I just want to hide somewhere and never show my face
But with all the stares,it's quite impossible in this case
I look at the time,i've only been here five minutes
I wonder if this is really happening or am i losing my digits?
I think i have to get out before the ground swallows me
But that's not so bad because at last from these stares i'd be free
I try to remember the last time i've felt like this
The answer is never,i've always lived in bliss
I have always been loved or liked,everyone has my time
Now, to this particular line,i have nothing that rhymes
Bottom line,i have never been treated this way
Everyone is ignoring me like i've got nothing good to say
It feels really strange to be the stranger in this large hall
If they stare any harder,i'm sure i will fall
Finally,i find a corner where there us no one
Maybe on my own,i could still catch some fun.
