I AM REAL
I AM REAL…FLESH AND BLOOD AND TEARS…
EVEN KNOWING THE MYSTERY THAT LIES BEYOND,
I FEEL THE PAIN , I FEEL THE JOY,
I MAKE MISTAKES BUT ARE FULL OF LOVE.
I AM REAL...
NOT A SIMPLE DOLL, THAT NEVER MOVES , THAT NEVER
TALKS.
I CLOSE MY EYES AND TRY TO SLEEP, DREAM ABOUT YOU
AND FLY WITHOUT WINGS… WAKE UP, ALONE IN BED,
THE HEAVY FEELING OF BEING ON EARTH AGAIN…
I AM REAL
SAID SILLY WORDS, DANCE ACROSS THE FLOOR…
GET NAKED IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR AND LOOK FOR FLAWS…
I SEE MY BODY STARTING TO GET OLD…
TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT TOMORROW , JUST WAIT AND
LIVE THE HERE-NOW THE WAY IT COMES.
I AM REAL
CAN'T FIND WORDS TO WRITE THE WAY I FEEL ,
IT WILL SUFFICE TO SAY
THAT
I AM REAL…
