Heart of the Crippled Man

Somebody let them see
Past my crippled body
To the man inside
Sodebody let them feel
The want to kneel
And be by my side

But people now only care
About the colours of their hair,
Personality doesn't matter
Anymore

I'm also a human can't you see?
I still have feelings, can't you see?
I just can't show my love physically,
Only mentally,
And apparently,
That's not enough!
I can still love people, can't you see?
I don't want to be different, can't you see?
Just look past me
And see,
The heart of a crippled man!

I didn't have a choice,
About my voice,
Or about my looks.
I can't be,
The perfect man
That is pictured in book.
Help me realize,
Why every time I try
I get turned down
Nowadays
I seem to smile less
Than I frown, in agony.

Why do people now only care?
About their gorgeous wind-swept hair
Personality just don't matter
Anymore

I'm also a human can't you see?
I still have feelings, can't you see?
I just can't show my love physically,
Only mentally,
And apparently,
That's not enough!
I can still love people, can't you see?
I don't want to be different, can't you see?
Just look past me
And see,
The heart of a crippled man
