A Man You Can’t Rewrite
I don’t wear your Sunday smile,
Don’t shake hands with crocodiles.
You dress me up in borrowed grace,
I tear it off and show my face.
You talk about a better man,
one carved clean from some old plan.
But I’ve lived too long in my own skin
to trade it in for something thin.
You keep trying to sand me down,
like rough edges are a crime.
But every mark I’ve carried here
is something I earned in my own time
I’m a man you can’t rewrite,
not a draft you get to fight.
You can underline what you don’t like,
but I won’t bend to fit your lines.
Say what you want, call it spite —
I’m a man you can’t rewrite.
I don’t read your self-help prayers,
Don’t sip your clean-cut air.
I speak in smoke, I walk in mud,
And I’m not here to draw your blood.
You call it pride, I call it scars,
you call it lost, I call it ours.
You want to fix what can’t be tamed,
but wild and broken wears my name.
You keep trying to straighten me,
like crooked means I’m wrong.
But I’ve walked this way for years
and it’s kept me standing strong.
I’m a man you can’t rewrite,
not a draft you get to fight.
You can underline what you don’t like,
but I won’t bend to fit your lines.
Say what you want, call it spite —
I’m a man you can’t rewrite.
Maybe I’m scared of the change you bring,
maybe I flinched when the truth first hit.
But I won’t drown in your holy rain —
I’ve lived too long in the dirt to quit.
I’m a man you can’t rewrite,
and I sure as hell won’t try.
You can pray, you can bite,
but I won’t trade my dirt for your white light.
Take your rules, take your guide —
I’m a man you can’t rewrite.
