Doing This For Me

I've been told,
To listen to the laughter.
When I'm down,
It's the last thing that I'm after.
You have to understand that this is not a game.
You have to realize that it's not about the fame.
I'm doing what I do best,
Whether you think I should or not.
Because It's the only thing I know.
And it's the only thing I can.
Listen,
To the words I'm saying.
Because I refuse to say them again.
Listen,
To what I'm saying,
Because I'm leaving this world behind.
The sadness and tears,
Discomfort and pain.
It will all go away,
Eventually.
But for now,
I can at least just walk away,
As you turn selfishly the other way.
