Suddenly out of the blue, I cooked up this verse in my head. Wanted to pen it down before I forgot, for I really liked it and connected with it.
Who am I
But a nobody!
I wanted to shout out
screams contained in my head
Who am I
But a nobody!
I wanted to reach out
rationality restricted at the door
Who am I
But a nobody!
I knew you were wrong
reasoning flew right out the window
Who am I
But a nobody!
I felt suffocated
words that were being held back
Who am I
But am Me!I did want to make sense
I yearned to show you some light
Who am I
But am Me!
You reached out
to cry, to vent, to lash out
You took my hand
to console, to agree with you
The shangles broke
I was free
Who am I
But am Me!
I voiced my thoughts
I shared my concerns
I knew it was not my place
to do just so
Who am I
But am Me.
You stared in silence
Angry and broken
You refused to listen
you let go…
Who am I
But am Me!
I listen
I hear you
But am Me!
I refuse to stay silent
I shall not simply be!
But am Me!
