I Am Not You!
Our paradoxical reality
Opinions are arbitrary, dependant on experience As are high expectations and unrealistic views, Everyone’s reality is that little bit different But remember this, I am not you!
Another rotation around the sun today Doesn’t necessarily make it all true, I’ll honour your day, your very existence But remember this, I am not you!
I’m definitely far from perfect, I’m well aware I have more than one fault, in fact I have a few, I do have the same rights to defend myself But remember this, I am not you!
I’m a survivor, as I learn to navigate these waters Aware I’m extremely independent and stubborn too, I take things to heart, a little too personally But remember this, I am not you!
I don’t have the answers to all I don’t know In fact, sometimes it feels like I don’t have a clue, Foggy headed, confused, unable to understand But remember this, I am not you!
Any two individuals will deal in their own way Taking a little longer to think things through, Backing away from rash and heated impulses But remember this, I am not you!
Enjoy your special day today, celebrate I’ll be remembering and reminiscing anew, However, our reality will still be very different Because once again, I am not you!
