Can't always please everyone But at least I try. Please note the man is not me.
I may not be everyone's cup of tea
That I never invited anyone around to try
If you ever had the chance to meet me
You may not agree or agree
But what you see
Is what you get
And bittersweet
Never judge me
If you don't know the man I am
And it may surprise you
If you read my history
About my life from a book
You'd understand
The things I've seen
And the places I have been
Not always a smooth ride
Like some other people
But I made it through no man's land
Wounded and scared
But somehow
For some unknown reason
I'm still here
And survived
I'm nothing special
And no hearo
But sometimes
A rebel with a cause
Just humble and kind
But like everyone else
I make mistakes
And stumble
Sometimes
Caring for everyone but myself
Spreading my love to everyone
No matter who they may be
It's not so much how they may look
But the heart they own
I wear my heart on my sleeve
And have feelings like anyone else
Sometimes I feel like an old dusty tatters book
No one wants to read
And left on the shelf
Or lost luggage
That no one ever claims
Stored under a pile
Of baggage
With no label or name
I have had many good times as well
It's either been heaven
Or hell
Been a clown and a fool
But I still appreciate all the things that I have got
And not so much what I have not
My ship of Dreams must have floundered
Somewhere and sunk
To the bottom of the sea
Because the treasure I wished for
Never reached me
The message in a bottle
I threw it into the ocean
Must have got lost somewhere
A note never read
Put simply
S.O.S.
