I am just me Yes, I am only me… A person once careworn And now, a bit carefree… I like to sit and read A life of contentment lead To rudeness pay no heed I just trim off the **** Mostly I do smile And try to hide a frown For it is now quite easy To wear a thorny crown. The years have mellowed me For I know right from wrong I ignore the rotten apples For my spirit is still strong Some days I am merry And bubbling to the brim On Others I am serious Though never really grim. The years have been a challenge That I rose up to meet So that, today, the future I can, serenely, greet. In myself, I am quite happy I, do not, company need But am equally content To mingle, and to meet. It has taken me years To escape from my cage Yes, it has taken me eons To reach this mellow stage

I am just me
I am just me Yes, I am only me… A person once careworn And now, a bit carefree… I like to sit and read A life of contentment lead To rudeness pay no heed I just trim off the **** Mostly I do smile And try to hide a frown For it is now quite easy To wear a thorny crown. The years have mellowed me For I know right from wrong I ignore the rotten apples For my spirit is still strong Some days I am merry And bubbling to the brim On Others I am serious Though never really grim. The years have been a challenge That I rose up to meet So that, today, the future I can, serenely, greet. In myself, I am quite happy I, do not, company need But am equally content To mingle, and to meet. It has taken me years To escape from my cage Yes, it has taken me eons To reach this mellow stage
