Can't Please Anyone- A Porcupine's Tale
a porcupine doesn't have many friends
due to the needles that stand up at the ends
no one really cares when a porcupine cries
no one is there to weep when one of us dies
no one ever approaches a hurt, sad porcupine
can't even attract a drunk with a case of wine
no one wants to get close enough to start to care
no one, for a small porcupine, is ever there
tears fall down their cute, small needled faces
no one ever pays any attention to their small cases
from place to place, we porcupines wander so slow
there isn't a warm welcome at any place we go
seems like porcupines just can't please anyone
due to the needles that stand up at the ends
no one really cares when a porcupine cries
no one is there to weep when one of us dies
no one ever approaches a hurt, sad porcupine
can't even attract a drunk with a case of wine
no one wants to get close enough to start to care
no one, for a small porcupine, is ever there
tears fall down their cute, small needled faces
no one ever pays any attention to their small cases
from place to place, we porcupines wander so slow
there isn't a warm welcome at any place we go
seems like porcupines just can't please anyone

Nice expression of feeling like an outcast due to their exterior, I feel like this very often

People are outcast because they choose to be
My sister was a prime example
Many many caring people on this planet
For me to think any different

except ... another porcupine. I really like the cadence of this one. Good job.
