My Big Book Of 101 Lies

WHO AM I?

A lot of you know me:

I am the well-wisher who is just wishing.

I’m the fisherman not fishing,

I’m the clouds before it rains,

I’m the loser, who still gains,

I’m the one fighting on the losing side,

I’m the one along for the ride,

I’m the friend, who loves you so,

The one who never will let you go,

I’m the pain you used to feel

I’m the suffering that’s surreal

I’m the lost people from long ago,

I’m the last warmth before cold snow,

I’m the lover and the fighter,

The one who must give up my lighter,

I’m the one with all the scars,

Way too young for local bars,

I’m the one with bills unpaid,

I’m the kid, whose bed isn’t made,

I’m the chaos in your life,

I’m the useless struggle and strife,

I’m the pictograph without a key,

I’m the one just being me,

I’m the one crying alone,

The one who works all on my own,

I’m the girl in your English class,

Who looks like she is made of glass,

I’m the one, who wants to die,

With no more tears, I cannot cry,

I’m the one, who’s hurting me,

The real person you cannot see,

I’m the mother out on the street,

Who has nothing good to eat,

I’m the father who up and left,

But now is left feeling so bereft,

I’m as evanescent as a cloud,

I’m the one, who’s not allowed,

I’m the love you always feel,

I’m someone who isn’t real.
