Blah Blah Blah...

"Paintbrush"

I keep my paintbrush with me
Wherever I may go,
In case I need to cover up
So the real me doesn't show
Im so afraid to show you me
Afraid of what you'll do--
that you might laugh or say mean things
Im afraid I might lose you

I'd like to remove all my coats of paint
to show you the real true me,
but I want you to try and understand,
I need you to accept what you see.
So if you'll be patient and close your eyes,
Ill strip off all my coats real slow.
Please understand how much it hurts
to let the real me show

Now my coats are all stripped off
I feel naked, bare, and cold.
And if you still love me with all that you see
your my friend, pure as gold.

I need to save my paintbrush, though.
and hold it in my hand,
I want to keep it handy
in case someone doesn't understand.
So please protect me,
my dear friend,
and thanks for loving me true.
But let me keep my paintbrush,
just until I can love me too

"Who You Are"

you, your different from the rest,
you, your light radiates brightly from society
over time you've come to mean so much to me
you know the trials and tribulations of my life
and bourne them with me, as if they were your own
Within your heart I have found my home
you accept me for who I am, never changing me
and in fact modeling yourself from me
you are a constant companion,
there when the rest of the world fades away
when no one else cares
your always ready and steady

until later...
