ME
HOLD ME LOOSE BUT LOVE ME.
LET ME SEE WHAT I CAN BE.
ALL MY LIFE I'VE BEEN FOR OTHERS.
SOMEONE'S CHILD, SOMEONES WIFE,
SOMEONE'S MOTHER.
I'VE LOVED THEM ALL.
BUT NOW, YOU SEE.
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT I CAN BE.
IF I BE ME

THOUSANDS OF WORDS ARE SPOKEN EACH DAY.
YET TRUE COMMUNICATION IS RARE,
WE SPEAK INADEQUATE WORDS OF POINTLESS CHIT-CHAT
TO COVER UP OUR FEARS.
RARE ARE THE FRIENDS TO WHOM WE CAN SPEAK ,
OF THINGS THAT WE FEEL INSIDE.
BE IT TENDERNESS,LOVE,OR NONSENSE OR JUST OUR FOOLESS PRIDE.
TRUE FRIENDS WON'T BE SHOCKED BY YOUR WEAKNESS.
THEY KNOW YOU ARE LESS THAN A SAINT.
SPEAK OF THINGS THAT TOUCH YOU,
AND DON'T TRY TO BE SOMETHING YOU AIN'T.
YOU MAY FIND YOUR FRIEND HAS BEEN WAITING ,INSERCURE WITH FEET OF CLAY TO FIND SOMEONE TO TALK OF THINGS,
HER HEART HAS TO SAY
