M's Poetry
My Name
I've been accused of changing
because I don't take your crap
You say I've gone astray
You say I'm not the same person
The person you loved yesterday
So you can bet on horses
or play that hand of poker
cuz I know who I am
I am the ace you are the joker
don't whisper your displeasure
don't even say my name
I'm am not your rock
you can hammer me and I won't bend
and I won't shield you like a mountain
cuz what you did closed me out as your friend
now I'm driving down the street
with your tear-stains on my cheek
and you know I think you're crazy
you say I'm the one who's flaky
I say you are the one left being complacent
cuz you can't faze me
I don't want to be your insurance policy
I don't want to be the one you count on
just don't whisper anything
just don't even say my name
gone is it now out of your vocabulary....
