I, I, I,

I…. I thought…. you’d understand me I…. I thought…. you’d give a damn I…. I knew…. it would be risky For me to show you…. who I really am When the sun rises it shines every morning Flowers grow and bloom the way they should do But inside I hear a voice cry out a warning I must find the way to break away from you I…. I.... I…. I don’t know me I…. I.... I…. I’m not the same You…. you…. you…. took my sanity You…. you…. you…. played a game I…. I gave…. myself completely I…. I gave…. my love away I…. I lost…. hold of reality Trying to please you…. needing love to stay When the wind blows it brings down the leaves Scatters them far and wide across the ground You’ve broken me now I don’t know what to believe I‘m in bits my sanity lies all around I…. I.... I…. I don’t know me I…. I.... I…. I’m not the same You…. you…. you…. took my sanity You…. you…. you…. played a game You didn’t want the real me I don’t like who I’ve become You changed my life completely Let me be me not just someone I…. I.... I…. I don’t know me I…. I.... I…. I’m not the same You…. you…. you…. took my sanity You…. you…. you…. played a game I…. I.... I…. I don’t know me I…. I.... I…. I’m not the same You…. you…. you…. took my sanity You…. you…. you…. played a game Jane Shields ©

Thank you Maureen. No, I don't have music yet for it. I'm not musical at all sadly. x
