Whoever you thought I was going to be

I wrote this poem in April, 2006:

Whoever you thought I was going to be

Ain't here now; she got up at three

In the morning before I was born'd

And you got me.

Whoever you thought I was going to be

Lives in your dreams; can't you see?

Maybe someone should have warned

You 'bout me.

Whoever you thought I was going to be

Is nothing like you, only like me.

I'm not someone to be scorned;

I'm just me.

Whoever you thought I was going to be

Lives in your dreams, so set them free.

I am not you; you should have learned -

I am me.
