...ItGOesON::::::: They said; I said; You said

Thursday, October 06, 2005

They said I was good looking;
they looked at the flesh I'd been hiding in
I looked at the inside of the flesh
which they never looked at
I'm ugly, I said

They said I was smart;
they saw the things I'd done
I saw the things I'd done
which they never saw
I'm stupid, I said

They said I was nice;
they heard the things I'd said
I listened to the words I'd said
which they never heard
I'm evil, I said

They said I was strong;
they saw my smiles in crises
I saw my tears I shed in crises
which they never saw
I'm weak, I said

They said I was rich;
they counted the things I had
I counted the things I didn't have
which I should have had
I'm poor, I said

They said Yes
I said No
They said No
I said Yes

I turned to you;
You said either Yes or No

You said I was beautiful;
You looked inside my flesh, my heart
Despite all ugliness

You said I was wise;
You paid attention to my moves
Despite all stupidity

You said I was lovely;
You listened to every word I uttered
Despite all evil

You said I was strong;
You see my smiles and tears in crises
Despite all weaknesses

You said I was rich;
You give me everything I need
Despite my prosperity

You said Yes
I said No
You said Yes
You have me, I said
