Crazy has nothing on me

I awoke today like I do any other

I am still a person, a woman, a mother

Body still working breathing all on its own

In my bed and in my own home

Empty bottle of wine next to my bed, all my stuff around me

And wearing very little with my bits hanging out incidentally

Not a pretty sight unless you’re into chubby older chicks

What do I care anyway I am alone and most men are actually pri**s

Nails painted a disgusting dark pink I don’t even like and still too long

I can’t play my guitar properly when I sing my song

Just had a stupid telephone conversation someone venting their crap

I put the phone down on that sh** maybe I am tired and need another nap

Interaction with people is often such

They speak they speak but I can’t hear very much

Filter them out, pretend you can’t hear

I am 43 I need a hearing aid dear

Ok not that old but for what I want oh I am

If only I was in a loving relationship with a really nice man?

Too old for more kids? Just put a gun to my head

How many times?? yes I wish I was dead

But alas I am not as like I said right before

I’m a daughter a mother and that’s what I am still living for

I am selfish and ugly and my heart is bitter and rotten

Oh and its all me me me in case you have forgotten

I will dance and disco beaver regardless of the abuse

I will evade certain questions and be rather obtuce

Apparently I am pretty but who gives a toss

Take pictures of me and try to be my boss??

I will take you on too, if you really make me have to

Will be all out war as I have nothing to lose anymore

I will always settle any score

You see I am ‘mental’ but in a way you will not be able to predict

Cos I will use the skills I have developed with my stamina and my wit

So sick of being underestimated and treated badly

I have evolved to his albeit sadly

Watch this space as I am not done yet

And I won’t live the rest of my life with any more regret

Don’t fall fowl of me as I am not very nice

And if you are in my way I won’t even think twice

The absence of cuddles and manly affection

Makes me angry I miss it upon reflection

I can be approached and reasoned with

But you’d need sincere and honest reasons to give

If not please just pass me by

We all have many many reasons to cry

And telling me to top myself just simply will not work

Being abused by some number hiding jerk?

I always do the opposite to anyone who tries to manipulate

I simply don’t like being told what to do, it really fills me full of hate

And if you really think you have the measure of me

There are so many layers you just did not see

I am sitting in an army tank and I won’t hesitate to run you down

If you see fit to treat me like some kind of clown

Oh yes you did that already didn’t you.

And all the while the birds are singing
