Climb My Way Upstairs

I am not a board game I am no snakes and ladders But inside me, I know What truly matters? I am not a banker Neither is I a vampire But both are no better Then one or the other I am not an atheist Neither is I a priest But both will have no answer When they leave in a hearse I am not a politician Neither is I a diplomat But both have sown immense sorrow Daily creating some shifty, avalanche. I am not a thief Neither is I a charity But one day, I'll wear a wreath And die someplace quite happily I'm simply a poet I whisper sweet nothings to the wind But don't quote me Because I can blissfully sing! I am not a sharp dresser Neither is I a ladies man, But I know I'll leave this dark seller Climb my way upstairs I am not a board game I am no snakes and ladders But inside me, I know What truly matters?
