I AM WHAT I AM
I LIKE PEANUT BUTTER AND PUPPIES,
MILKSHAKES AND MEMORIES
AND I LIKE FLUFF BUT NOT MARSHMALLOW.
`
I AM AMERICAN SO I LOVE BASEBALL,
BUT YET, I DON’T LIKE WATERMELON OR APPLE PIE.
I ALSO LIKE THE DOG PLUTO, BUT NOT MICKEY MOUSE.
`I WISH FOR THE IMPOSSIBLE
BUT THEN DOUBT IT CAN BE TRUE.
I LIKE TO THINK I AM A OPORTINISTIC PESSIMIST!
`I WISH GOOD THINGS FOR YOU,
BUT I DON’T WANT TO BE LEFT OUT.
I WILL GIVE YOU THE WORLD
BUT SECRETLY NEED SOMETHING IN RETURN.
A PLEASE OR A THANK YOU WILL BE JUST FINE.
`I WANT TO DO THINGS
BUT I DON’T WANT TO LEAVE WHERE I AM.
I WANT A BIG OL’ PICKUP TRUCK,
BUT I DRIVE A SMALL PRACTICAL CAR.
`I LOVE WHEN SOMEONE NEAR ME
HUMS, WHISTLES OR SINGS.
THAT MAKES ME FEEL ALL COMFY AND WARM.
` I TRULY ENJOY BEING ALONE,
BUT NOT FOR TOO LONG BECAUSE I LIKE TO TALK A LOT.
AND THAT IS EITHER YOUR ENJOYMENT OR DISPLEASURE.…
BUT THAT IS JUST ME.
`I LIKE HUGS BUT NOT TOO MANY KISSES
I LIKE TULIPS BUT NOT ROSES.
` I AM DRAMATICE – IN GOOD THINGS AND BAD.
I FEAR THE WORST, WORRY ABOUT THE “WHAT IF’S”
BUT IF IT WAS YOU, I WOULD TELL YOU JUST THE OPOSITE…
I WOULD SAY; “YES YOU CAN” OR “IT’S OK”, “NO, NO THAT WON’T HAPPEN”
`FUNNY, MAYBE I SHOULD START TALKING TO MY SELF
I KNOW I SHOULD; BUT I DON’T APPEAR TO BELIVE MYSELF
BUT I BELIVE IN YOU!
`I GET EXCITED AND I EXAGERATE
BUT ALL IN GOOD FUN.
I LIKE TO BE SILLY, LAUGH AND EVEN SOMETIMES SNORT.
`A GIGGLE OF A CHILD IS AS GRAND AS A WEE FAT, CHERUB
(BUT I WON’T CHANGE A DIAPER!!)
I LIKE WINKS, SMIRKS AND EVEN SOUR-PUSS FACES.
` I STAND BY MY WORD
AND I WILL STAND BY YOURS
I WILL PROTECT YOU AND CARE FOR YOU
BUT WHEN I AM SICK OR TOO SAD;
I JUST NEED TO BE CODDLED AND CARED.
`I AM JELOUS BUT HONEST.
I WANT WHAT YOU HAVE.
IT MAY NOT BE RIGHT BUT IT IS WHO I AM.
` YOU CAN HAVE MINE IF YOUWANT –
EVEN IF I DON’T WANT TO GIVE,
IT IS YOURS IF YOU SO DESIRE
`I LIKE THE WORDS: SNOOKERED, POPPYCOCK, SISCORS AND BOO
JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE FUN TO SAY.
I LIKE THE NAMES FERGUS AND GILLICK
AND THE NAMES MADELINE, KELLEY AND BETH;
BUT I DON’T LIKE MY OWN.
` I DON’T LIKE BEING TOLD WHAT TO DO;
BUT IF YOU JUST ASK, I’M SURE I WON’T MIND
I’M GLAD FOR YOUR SUCCESS
BUT THAT DOESN’T MAKE YOU BETTER THAN ME
`I TRY HARD AND WORK HARD
SO I AM AT LEAST YOUR EQUAL.
I CARE AND I GIVE AND I AM RELUCTANT TO TAKE.
` SOMETIMES I WISH I HAD MORE
AND I COULD SHARE IT WITH YOU
BUT I DO SO VERY MUCH LOVE WHAT I HAVE.
` I DESIRE, REQUIRE AND HONOR RESPECT.
SOMETIMES I MAY COUNT ON YOU OR RELY ON YOU TOO MUCH
YET SOMETIMES, IT HAS TO BE DONE;–
BY NONE OTHER THAN ME.
` MAYBE YOU LIKE THAT ABOUT MEAND MAYBE YOU DON’T.
BUT ALL OF THIS IS ALL TRUE, BECAUSE….
I AM WHAT I AM.
` AND I LIKE WHAT I AM.
IF I CHANGE MY THOUGHTS, IDEAS, LIKES AND DISLIKES;
I WILL STILL BE WHAT I AM.
` YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE
AND THAT’S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU.
