Where am I?
I know where I am, but where is that?
In this big, fat universe
Is there a puny version of me somewhere in that?
Is there a pretty me?
A petty me?
A silly me?
Aren't we all the same person in the same body?
But we never notice each other company
So who keeps telling me
I'm young and weak
A frail nerd and/or geek
Ugly
There's someone I know that didn't used to say these things
But now that person does, all the time, everywhere on me, about my everything
That person tells me:
'Nobody would ever accept your wedding ring'
That person has been there for so long
I'm betting he's right
I bet he sees the light that I can't
He talks to me everywhere
I can't get away from the fear
The fear that he puts in me
The one in the mirror
I have to tell him he's wrong
I have to get him to move
With him in the way I can't see it all
He pulls at my feet, always causing me to fall
I hate him!
But I need him
He the backbone that I've had whenever I need it
Without him, I'm a pair of jeans that's seamless
He cares for me in the deepest way
He's there to be my weakness
I love him.
