A Bit About Me

I sort of stutter inside my head
Like I'm nervous before the words are said 
My hands they shake and even sweat 
I’m not the one on which to bet

My eyes are weak I’m not so strong
I sort of fumble and get words wrong 
My legs get cramp my toes are bent 
And all of my best years have been spent 

My bones are poor they crack and creek 
I gave up hope my spirits weak 
My thoughts are jumbled it’s not so good 
I’ve never loved like lovers should 

I’m not always honest I lie so well 
And when there's a secret I tend to tell 
But when it's over it’s all been said and done 
There’s not a fault I can’t overcome
