Leave me Where you Found me

Not to say that I'll refuse a helping hand

Or to believe that I am all that I am

And will ever need

It's simply not true

You, you on the other hand

have the tendency to interject, deflect and repress... the truth

You simply will not confess what is you.

 

She likes to feel like an independent lady

She has it all under-control and figured-out

She is SO busy, TOO busy

No time for No one

 

Did SHE tell you that?

Did you ask her?

Did you even stay around long enough for her to respond?

 

With these two feet she can walk towards upward mobility

With these two legs she can stand with solid stability

She is self-sufficiency

With these eyes, although the vision is not always clear

She can still see the bullshit that you are blind to in the mirror

 

She has always had such a good head on her shoulders

Una chica con una buena cabeza sobre sus hombros

Dissect her life, inspect her limb by limb

Only I know who I am within

Decapitate me, try if you must

The blessing to me be young and wise is something I will clutch

 

Your touch, well I wouldn't know how that feels

Your embrace is fictious, absently surreal

Yet...

Your potential irks me in the bone of my being, in the spirit of my heart, in the nerve of my thinking

Then I rest, ponder-question-think and contemplate

You're in-my-mind... Can you leave?

You are taking up space

I'm content with my solitude because it is mine to embrace

 

Half-, Semi-, Partial- does not apply to she

Only 100 that matches 100 can secure a spot with me

If you are not here, If you do not care,

Why are you still here, if you want to be there?

 

I will not stop or force or delay

Free-will is a precious gift God has given me

So leave me with free-will

Leave me with free-reign

Don't tease my senses, never to return again

Leave me with my contentment

Don't attempt to steal my joy

 

In my meadow, In my reverie

In the shower, In the library

 

Leave me Where you Found Me
