I'm Sitting Here Thinking…


You know, I am sitting here thinking,
About this harsh life that I live,
And then I remind my brain,
That I have a lot to give!
Because God made me who I am!
And gave me the ability to write,
Of course, give empathy to others,
And also give me something to do at night!

Cos imagine if I was sitting here,
Hour after hour, all night through!
It would drive me crackers, it would!
So I'm thankful that I have much to do!
Writing was my lifeline you know,
Well, I guess it still is just a tad!
Because now and again, when I glitch,
I write it out and eke out the sad!

I don't want to be negative at all!
But I do glitch badly now and again!
Well, I guess if you were in my shoes,
You wouldn't deal well with all the pain!
And I'm not saying I'm worse than others,
Believe me there are a lot out there!
With much worse than you or I…
For some, life just isn't fair!

And I never judge by a look at all!
For what's inside's can't always be seen!
But that doesn't mean that they are ok!
Just cos they look ok, if you know what I mean?
What I am trying to say is this,
If you see a person in a parking bay…
That's marked out for the disabled…
And they seem to you, to look ok!

And give them a look, like I get!
Judging me, having no clue!
That I am entitled to be in that bay!
If in a wheelchair, they would park there too!
One time a woman walked past my car,
As I was sitting waiting for my chair,
Looked me up and down and called me names,
Well that irks me, cos that's not fair!

Now I am independent! Oh I am!
And that woman judged me by a look!
Cos while sitting in the car I look ok!
And when I got it and was in the store,
I decided to really make her day!
So I scootered all around the store,
To make sure she saw the chair!
And this is what I bang on about!
Judging by a look is wrong and unfair!

I think you can imagine her face!
I hope she felt full of shame!
And never judge another as she did me!
And refrain from doing it again!
