Leper
Always alone by choice or by fate
Never rewarded no matter the wait
Why the avoidance I really can't tell
If I am a leper then where is my bell?
Do I walk through the streets shouting "Unclean?"
Do I wear rags or is this just a dream?
Do they shut their windows and close down their stores?
If I am a leper then where are my sores?
Despite all my knowledge sometimes I still try
The few times they want me I think it's a lie
And so I turn away time after time
If I am a leper then what is my crime?
