AS IS

i'm here of my own free will

i'm here of my own free will
a choice i make
i'd rather hover over a pile of shit
but now i choose to be here
because i can
make a choice
you?

i thought

i thought
i was small enough to hide
too insignificant to be
of any interest to anyone
but i, me
caught your eye
thank you
for your attention
i do like it
i do

is the grass really greener on the other side

is the grass really greener on the other side
says who?
you?
the butterflies, the dragonflies
even the good old housefly
seem NOT to care
green or greener
they're here, there
everywhere

i cannot put a fork in my mouth?

i cannot put a fork in my mouth?
why?
because it will hurt me?
why?
because i will fall?
why?
BECAUSE?
why
did you give me the fork?

i take care of you
with joy in my heart
and a smile on my face
happily willingly lovingly
when you become
my responsibility
i want to remember
the time
i took care of you
with joy in my heart
and a smile on my face
happily willingly lovingly

what do you think I'm doing here

what do you think i'm doing here
alone and hanging on to a bright orange pole
do you think i'm lonely and need some TLC
do you think i'm sad and hiding my face
or am i an invisible child that no one sees
a problem child banished to stand alone
what do you think i'm doing here
well
i'm just a child alone and hanging on to a bright orange pole
sometimes that's all i'm doing
and all i want to do
