Thought Menagerie

I only want what's mine

That's what I came to find

A little respect that's all

From you

Because one has his natural right

But somehow that doesn't seem right

Not when I look at myself

I was taken on a trip to see

A miniscule menagerie in my soul

Where all the thoughts have escaped the cage

And vamp across the spiritual plain

It's like I said before

I've got the right to ignore

The ruin in my self

If it involves change

And so I lay it down

Put my humanistic crown

On the shelf

I think I've changed my mind

I'd rather seek than find

The sorrow from you

I won't regret
