WHATEVER

One should never have to sever

Their whole life to be together

And they shouldn't hurt whomever

For that to be

But hey – whatever

One should never have to hide

All the love they feel inside

Shouldn't be spurned or denied,

But hey – whatever

Shouldn't have to obsess

On the fact their life's a mess

Nor deny when they've been blessed

But hey – whatever

Shouldn't have to climb the highest mountains

Then hurt themselves while climbing down them

But hey - whatever

Shouldn't have to sit in the front of classes

Because their dad can't buy them glasses

But hey – whatever

Shouldn't have to find out

That their lover

Is in love with yet another

Who just treats her like his daughter

Though they're perfect for each other

But hey – whatever

One shouldn't have to stop

And spend two bucks on polar pops

Just to feel they want for not

But hey - whatever

And while I know it's not a battle cry

This "whatever" word has saved my life

My new mantra

The way that I get by

Through the hardest

And most dire times

"Whatever"

Gives me courage to change the things I can

And the wisdom to know the difference

Whatever is

My new religion

So please excuse

The religious inference

But hey - whatever

I just want whatever comes happily

Want to live in whatever fantasy

With whatever woman comes to me

Whatever life we build I want to be

Much better

Than ever

But hey – whatever
