I Am, I Am

I can’t believe the words your written What makes you think your smart How dare you judge this life of mine Was straight right from the start I never was to meet you What is it that you think This is just my chat line I’m not desperate as you think If you think you’ve got me figured I’ll tell you that your wrong You need to walk a mile as me Before you sing my song Don’t tell me about the 90% Don’t judge me by your rules I will be me, and always me Not someone else’s fool. You think you know about me I wish I knew the same You’ve never even met me You only know my name. You’ve hurt me with your judgment With your “think about it” tone I thought I had a chat mate But I’m wrong, I stand alone. We flirted and we had some fun And lots of time we passed With jokes and stories And things gone wrong And travels in the past But now I want to sit right back And close those lines again Those tentative lines that I let out To reach the land of song I just feel so let down again By judgment from your kind You seem to think my world is free I tell you I need time My being is a big dark place Too sensitive I may be I struggle with my very life To feel my soul be free I used to trust the whole wide world All roses I did see But I’ve learnt it’s full a big sharp thorns That rip the flesh off me I’m going now, for what its worth I did enjoy our chats Got things to do and places to go And find out were I’m at.
