I Am Who You Write About

I Am Who You Write About

I AM ABOUT WHO YOU COIN A PHRASE

I AM WHY YOU PUT PEN TO PAGE

YOU LOOK AT ME BUT DON’T SEE

YOU SHARE COFFEE AND HOPES AND DREAMS

BUT YOU DON’T KNOW ME

THE BEATINGS THE BRUISES ON INSIDE NOT OUT

THE CONFUSION THE CHAOS THE DISBELIEF AND THE DOUBT

YOU POUR OUT YOUR HEART TO THE POOR AND THE WEAK

BUT WHEN YOU COME HOME IT’S PERFECTION YOU SEEK

We are just people like those that you pass

We don’t hold cardboard signs or do coke or ask for cash

We politely wash clothes and dishes and dreams

And do our best to sew up the seams

Of the unraveled lives where others cause pain

With personal grudges agendas and gains

You don’t stop to see how this affects those the most

The ones who would give up at all cost their hopes

The dreams set aside to further HIS REIGN

The sleepless nights the unending strain

For your dreams to blossom

For your wings to spread

To impact the masses with what’s needed to be said

But impatiently we wait for peace and for calm

For small bits and pieces of promises to come

Of a future a family a connection with those

That goes beyond worldly boundaries and normal repose

A nucleus of people, a chain with no end

Unbrakeable, unbeatable where satan can’t bend

Safe and sound without all the stress

A place without judgment but with peace and rest

I AM just a MOM and I’m doing my best
