just like me . . . just like you

[Bill]

just like me

just like you

 

she was born with the ability to fly

she did not realize this gift

for there was too much mental subterfuge

she was sifting through

just like me

just like you

 

her spirit though appearing quite grounded

to those passing by

she lived in a world of whys

and she was well aware that her eyes

were for crying

there was no denying

though she in her own way was quite defiant

about certain things

just like me

just like you

 

she truly was a fair hearted soul

but she longed for some unknown wholeness

and perhaps she could extricate herself

from the mess

as she saw her world to be

and she more or less

kept all this to her self

as we all do so many times

just like me

just like you
