It's Me You See


Being a dork is a lot of work

I mean it’s not a bad thing

But sometimes I feel I lack a bit of zing

I can be silly and serious

Dramatic and dumb

But still me, you see

Still a dork

But that’s ok

Cause its who I am

High anxiety, high strung

Will cry until my face is numb

But that’s me, you see

A modern day Nick Caraway

Honest to the core

Telling the truth till I’m sore

Alas, that’s me you see

Work myself up

to let myself down

How intelligent I must sound?

Aspirations of a broadcasting career

One single tear

I’m an emotional guy who gives his all

And would hate to see everything just fall

Dreams crashing

Cars smashing

The end of one great nation

Wait its all in my head

My imagination

My greatest asset and greatest weakness

Limiting and compelling

All of this I am telling

Is just me, you see

A dork

A dork with a passion

A passion to speak

To write

To read

To love

To be heard

That’s why

I sigh

Sit down

And type

I just let my ideas flow

So I can let my true self show

A rhyming array of words

But you can be assured

That its all about me, you see
