I am not a moralist.
A moralist believes in the monopoly of their morals; in the rightness of their convictions
I am not that.
So lie to everyone, if you please, but please make me an exception.

I am never the smartest in the room.
And I may never know what that feels like; unlike you.
You’re smart, you’re wise and you always have the last say.
If you want to, fool everyone. But I want you to make me an exception.

My favourite colour is bright burnt orange.
I could never really settle for dull colours.
But you live in monochrome; it’s either black or white for you. Sometimes it’s just plain gray.
But in all your shades of shadiness; do make an exception for me.
*****
But if you insist on flying away into the night
With no cloths, no dime and no friends
It’s interesting that I was headed there as well
Would you make an exception just for me?
