Every now and then I get comfortable enough to share my thoughts with the outside world. I put them in a song, I write them down, I turn them into a piece of art in some way. this time I made them into a piece of spoken word poetry and I would like to get it out into the world.
I will not explain what it is about, read it like you would look at a painting at a museum. read it and talk about it with a friend. share with a family member or keep it to yourself.
It's not me
I know you think you know
Everything there is to know
And I know there’s nothing I can say
To make you think otherwise
Cause colour-wise
You live in black and white
While I see purples and reds
orange is the sun that shines on my face
And takes my sorrows away
How the wind blows the heavy thought from my mind.
When I think to myself it is not me, it is not me
It’s not me, it’s not me but if it’s not me
It might be you.
I know you think you know
Everything there is to know
And I know there’s nothing I can say
To make you think otherwise
Because I realize that
If I let you lead me in life
The fire in my eyes might die
Green is the grass I feel under my bare feet
While I ground myself to make the right decision
How the rain make the pain drift away from my heart
When I say to myself it’s not me it’s not me
It’s not me, it’s not me but, if it’s not me
It might be you.
I know you think you know
Everything there is to know
And I know there’s nothing I can say
To make you think otherwise
While I live for fireflies and lullabies
You want me to live by you rules and
Your rules only, and If I don’t you’ll say it my fault.
I breath the clean air from the bright blue sky
As I let you be you but I choose me
How the love I’m surrounded with makes me truly happy
And I tell myself it’s alright to choose me
It’s not me, I choose me and yes, if I choose me
It will be you.
I hope this piece gives you something, something to talk about, something to think about.
yours truly,
Miss M
