Do You Mind


I am myself, In the background Of your reality. Never you mind me, Mayhap° I not mind myself. I am myself, Staring out the window Watching yellow butterflies. Never you mind me, I bother not but myself. I am myself, Remembered and forgotten At the same time. Never you mind me, I tend to forget myself. I am myself, Decidedly misunderstood, sanely crazy or calm. Never you mind me, I hardly understand myself. I am myself, Changing hardly If changing at all. Never you mind me, I just prefer to be myself. I am myself, But you've become stone, Turning an ice-cold shoulder. Never you mind me, I am confused myself. I am myself, But you've put on masks. Masks that lie fake smiles. Never you mind me, You've hid you from myself. I am myself, Hopeful as if you'll remember Our friendship, the fun we had. Mayhap° you'll mind me, For I am still myself. I am myself, Your old friend Whom you've left behind. I do hope you mind me, I miss you, here.... By myself.
