You Don't Know Me....

No easy way....choices....play the game or not?
Free to be me?
Who walks in my shoes? Who sees my path or pays my dues?
Don't put me in a box and throw away the key....
you don't know me.

To live these years....survive...to grow...
roll with the punches...life for me...
Who sees my tender heart? Who feels my dreams in full or part?
Don't put me in a box and throw away the key....
you don't know me.

A heart that's scarred....battered yet healed...
Decisions...right or wrong for me...
Who cares enough to love without demand? Who holds my hand?
Don't put me in a box and throw away the key...
you don't know me.

Days and nights blend....solitude drifts on the wind
is freedom truly free?
Who can I trust with my heart? Who'll keep it safe from the start?
Don't put me in a box and throw away the key...
you don't know me.

I am the colors of creation...many and flamboyant
ever-changing and flowing.
Who will see me from beginning to end? Who will share my rainbows, our dreams to blend?
No....don't put me in a box and throw away the key...
you don't know me....
