people say i'm no good
December 2, 2011
People, they say I'm no good.
People, they don't know my name.
Still, it's just the same.
I died long ago, but still they take one look,
And those people say I'm no good.
Not even bothering to skim my pages, read the first page of the book.
I'm not no good, even though that's what people might say.
But people talk a-lot, even when they don't know anything.
Don't think I'm no good.
Don't discard me, for I have stood
And waited for a voice to hold me close,
and tell me I'm at least some good.
