I’d rather share my bed with my cat.
He never gets needy
or tries to steal the covers;
He’ll hum for me purr for me,
won’t talk when I’m exhausted.
I’d rather share my bed with my cat.
He is unconditional
not overemotional;
He’ll sit and chill next to me,
content with my company.
He’s full of sweet meows…
I’d rather share my bed with my cat.
He’ll get me through the work day
in his corner of the room;
He deserves the finer things
because he doesn’t want much.
I’d rather share my bed with my cat.
He’ll be there when it’s raining
and when the sunshine creeps back;
He has no planned agenda
because I am all he needs.
I’d rather share my bed with my cat,
he’s full of sweet meows.
I try to explain how I feel
I have poured out my heart
I have answered all your questions
When you would ask what's wrong with me
I would explain as best I could
But when I do something that I have explained before
You told me I was overdramatic
A crybaby
Then tell me I wont get anywhere like this
It's not my fault
It is my brain chemistry
I have explained it as best as I can
But you still don't understand
I have said it over and over
I am starting to think that it's not that you don't understand
It's that you are not listening
Or that you don't believe me
Or you choose to ignore it
And treat it as just being overemotional
Like I can't do anything
Because you tell me if you have such a problem
Then stay home
And cry about it because nobody outside will care
And they may not but I would expect more understanding
From family
From people who know what I have been through
I just want you to understand but I feel that you never will
TWO YEARS TODAY!!That's right, go ahead
and let the UNIVERSE know big SISTA, that's
1,051,200 min sober yeah we're countin
WITH YA! Raise your arms, leap, feel free to
shout a SCRIPTURE, crowds clapping, joyful
smiles and tears, NOW PLAYING " DAWN'S
DAY" A Paramount PICTURE... The past and
all the uncontrollable, irresistible, impractical
disease infected moments are
WITHDRAWALABLE, they are erasable, no
longer noticeable and you have shown ALL
OF US THAT NO MATTER HOW LOST YOU
FEEL"LIFE IS indeed RETRIEVABLE" Disease
and ADDICTION are SURVIVABLE, It's not
easy cuz those overemotional thoughts
are so easily MANIPULATABLE, and attack
every weakness to breakdown your guard
trying to convince you that those cravings
are simply IRRESISTIBLE! But exactly
63,072,000 seconds ago you Dawn-ster
stood up to that MONSTER, took your life
back, STOPPED LIFE'S FORECLOSURE! You
recalculated and refinanced the interest and
showed STRIFE, took down the for sale sign
put a hold on moving on to the AFTER LIFE!
im a quickthinking hardheaded son of a gun
i sleep in the day and worship the night
carpe dium has nothing on carpe noctum
im the reason you cant sleep
im the one who'll make you weep
im a manic depressant
dont tell me to be happy
im bipolar and overemotional
im unorganised and lazy
i tear up my cloths
i take to long getting ready
i smile when im in pain
and laugh when i want to cry
