Somebody else?
I don’t know how to be somebody else
unspoiled by love unspoiled by wealth
I have only ever tried to be me…
but how often I wondered what others might see?
I have got to be honest it bothers me not
what others perceive… what lovers forgot
my mind is my own however deranged
as are all of my screw-ups that caused only pain.
But I have achieved many things thought out of reach
learnt so much no one could teach
I have climbed a mountain... felt closer to God
then came down to earth but found religion was lost.
The beauty I’ve witnessed among many like me
searching for anything that might set them free
languages so many that they are hard to recall
a beauty so rare that any heart would sure fall.
I have tried to understand all that I’ve seen
all that has left a scar in the thoughts that I dream
at the end of the day it all adds up to me
I am who I am…. Whatever you see!
