'me - Exposed'
There I was lying in bed
thinking heck what is there
about me that makes me unique?
That makes strangers and friends
embrace me?
Ah I still haven't figured it out
maybe it's not supposed to be
figured out
I should just continue to be me
the listener
the one that gets you to share
your hurt,
your fear,
your happy moments
without having to wonder
will she perhaps use it against me one day?
So now I know why I tend to
be sought after,
why I sometimes feel like,
I carry the world on my shoulders
I am just that open vessel
that some people plug into
that others find unique
something I never appreciated
until today…
