It's Been a Day

Born to a world that wasn’t built for me

I try not take it personally

But It’s been a day

Walk in the store and no one speaks

Invisible at 6 foot 3

It’s been a day

I don’t believe you’re evil

But could you treat me like an equal?

You swear didn’t mean it that way

Trying to have the conversation

But you can’t hear what I’m sayin’

Is it too much to look at my pain?

Waiting in line, all eyes on me

Just trying to get something to eat

It's been a day

 

I don’t think you’re listening

This feeling isn’t fiction

You swear “they didn’t mean it that way”

Don’t bother to weigh in

If you won’t hear what I’m saying

Is it too much to look at my pain?

Don’t look away

Not today

Twist that tale how you need it told

But mine can’t be your hand to hold

Not today, it’s been a day
