Just me

May I have your attention! 

I am not who you thought I would be. 

I swear I swear

Don't you see

Don't you see

As I stand exactly, 

where you thought I should be.

How many past selves?

How many are we?

Will we ever not miss

who it was we used to be

I swear, I'm still me

He says, "Your confusing"

He says, "I can't figure you out"

"Predictably unpredictable"

Unsurprising, of course

Just stop 

Stop asking for more.

I wasn't it

what you're looking for

but, that's not the problem is it?

No, no, 

the problem is me.

You'll be back again you see

I may not be much 

but, I'm the only me

It's a lonely ride 

being honest

with yourself 

secrets secrets

on the shelf 

It's a closed door

and open casket

you see

it's a short chapter in closed book

and enticing line 

with no look 

What is it you would like to see?

I have a feeling it is not

the real me

As I sit in front of you

naked as the sea

and I watch you look 

strait through me

No, no, now I see

I am not who you thought 

I would be 

And yet, I am still

exactly me 

In the flesh

prickled by the breeze

love me love me

let me be

But, alas, in light you will see

despite your efforts

I am still me

I am not who you thought I'd be

no, no,

I am just me
