Brandelyn: Lyrical Contradiction

5/14/07

Just me

I like to drink unsweetened Iced Tea at fast food restaurants instead of soda

That’s just me

I am sensitive to extreme levels

Often feeling devastated by the smallest comment or look

Most people don’t know that about me because I mask it well

But that’s just how I am

I prefer baths over showers

And will go to Target and spend loads of money on cleaning products

Just so my house will smell amazing when I walk in

I tend to draw close to people who are like me

Sensitive

Creative

Caring

Doers

You’d be surprised at how few of us there are

That’s why my circle of family is impressively small

I’d rather sit in my house, stranded and hungry then ask someone for help

Some may say it sounds crazy

But that’s just me

I make no apologies for my political convictions and will continue to fight for what I believe in for as long as I believe in it

I feel guilty when I watch television for hours

Because that very morning, I woke up and thanked God for a new day

And here I am wasting it on Girlfriends, sex and the city and flavor of love

I have a problem saying no

Even when I know for my own sanity and life

No is what I should say

But that doesn’t change the fact that I can’t say it

I think its sexy when men write poetry

Or go out of their way to express themselves

I get lost in language and can read for hours without getting bored

Listen to the same song a million times over and sing my heart out

Like it was the first time

That’s just me

My hair is natural because of a bad perm

And because I’m getting back to my roots

When I tell you I love you

I don’t take that lightly

And that means I will do anything for you

That’s just me

 I believe in life and love and in all of the amazing things that God has promised

I believe he is trying to teach me patience by keeping me waiting

But He has also given many talents to make the wait interesting

I actually enjoy doing laundry and love sitting on my couch folding fresh clothes and breathing in all of that fluffed and folded goodness

That’s just me

I can be honest about my flaws

I can be honest about my success

I can be honest about what makes me smile

And what makes me tick

I can be honest about my life

Because it is only mine to live

I can be honest and say when something hurts

Even when my ears are the only ones to hear

That’s just me

And I make no apologies for what makes me, me
