A Leper in my own house

I feel like a leper in my own house ,people exclude you from life going on around here ,maybe through fear ignorance or maybe just pure selfishness . Sometimes you just need a hand to hold when feeling frightened ,someone to say i love you despite this illness.But alas this type of caring is not forthcoming or have i served my time bringing my wife from nothing to all she has now, raised my boys basically good boys to the men they are today ,maybe now i'm not needed anymore . But through it all i take pride in being here everyday of these peoples lives never running from my responsibilities always here to pay for this to pay for that .To hear snide remarks about my appearance when somethings like baldness are hereditary and not self inflicted .Maybe it's my time to become selfish and think about me for a change and to run when there is a problem ,you would think that if love has died people would tell you the truth instead of running for the hills. Sorry for my ramblings all take care you can be down today and up tomorrow
Regards Demons
Sometimes they're in a bottle,
Sometimes a pair of high-heel shoes,
Some come rolled in paper
Some have six strings and only play the blues
Once you've met the devil
There ain't no way he'll let you be
When I'm not chasing demons,
There's demons chasing me
Skeletons in closets
Ghosts underneath the bed
They hide out in pictures
And words better left unsaid
They hang around like perfume
And haunt me like an ancient melody
When I'm not chasing demons,
There's demons chasing me
There's things that I can't leave alone
'Cause they won't leave me alone
What I want ain't what I need
Still I reach for the things I crave
Then try to run away
Am I afraid of being free
'Cause when I'm not chasing demons
There's demons chasing me
So roll one up and light it
Pick up my old guitar
I'm playing crossroads
Drinking whiskey from a mason jar
Heartache at my front door
Says she needs my company
When I'm not chasing demons
There's demons chasing me
There's things that I can't leave alone
'Cause they won't leave me alone
What I want ain't what I need
Still I reach for the things I crave
Then try to run away
Am I afraid of being free
'Cause when I'm not chasing demons
There's demons chasing me
When I'm not chasing demons
There's demons chasing me
