Not Me


This is a word

This is a verse

This is a sentence

This is a phrase

This is a quote

This is a line

This is a grade

This is a life

This is your money

This is your family

This si your happiness

This is your job

This is your project

This is your own work

This is your love

This is your light

This is your destruction

This is your gift of a new life

This is the life you never had

This is your biggest want

This is your biggest wish

This is your new car

This is your new family

This is what you've always wanted

This is what you'll never have

Your own imagination now makes you very very unglad

Sad you arr when you come home now

Sad you are when you go to work now

How the hours draw on as you watch the clock

Go home to the family that you've wanted all along

Go home, go home, go home

To home is where you go

This is your want

This is your need

This is what you want and need most deeply

This is now where you work

This is now where you live

This is now your family

This is now your life
