you think you know me but you have no idea

NOT based on a true story

-So I cry,
-Who doesn’t?
-Yes I smoke,
-Don’t be a hypocrite

-We’ve made mistakes,
-And hung our heads in shame.
-Yes a saw you with that twat
-He cheated on his last two
-You’re just new, it won’t last past noon.

-I don’t know if your dedicated partner deserves to know,
-But I’m not going to be a hoe,
-My mother used to sow,
-But now she doesn’t even know

-I’ve been loved, I’ve been lost,
-I’ve had ups and downs
-And I’ve come through a better person

-I’ve been hurt I’ve been grieved
-I know now how it feels to loose
-But having the strength to go on is bravery

-When you feel your luck has run out
-Turn around and punch that lie,
-If you truly believe then you will know,
-Good will come, to those who wait

-I thought I’d reached the end of the road
-Thought my luck had run out
-But I looked over my shoulder,
-And there stood my proud young soldier

-With a stance so tall,
-And a smile which never fails to fall
-I knew I’d found love
-And for me that’s nuff

-For I believed my heart had
-Found its way when my;
-My mother failed to make it through the day
-I stayed up at night and I’m awake through the day
-My body clock is messed up

-My father showing up
-This is news to me
-I fight him down
-I’m the dominant one now
-And I’m not going to be weak
-I’ve had power since he walked out 29 years ago

-What can I say?
-He used to beat me
-I was only 9
-But this was back in time

-I’m hollow and depressed
-My mind is a mess,
-I’ve shot down many
-The ones that crossed onto my territory

-You see im in the army
-And this is my story

-I was young
-My life a mess
-I took control and
-I became the best
-I’ve been in homes,
-I’ve lost my mother
-And had to develop a back bone
-To carry the weight of the world on my own

-I have to be strong for my little one
-Till the end of time,
-Is it wrong for me
-To take whats mine
-And to face my fears?

-For if I let my guard down
-My smile will fall
-And if I fail to impress
-Then I’ll settle for second best

-I’m growing old
-I’m getting cold
-He’s still with me,
-I knew he would never leave thee

 

-My dog at my feet
-My gun above my seat
-The gate still awates
-But not for long
-So before I go
-I’ll sing my last love song

-“For darling you know
-My time is slow
-But before I go
-I want to say
-I love you so”

-So a message here…
-Don’t judge me…
-You think you know me
-But you have no idea!
