Somebody Get Me



Somebody Get Me
By M.R. ClueUin


I'm not a puzzle, I'm not confused.
Why not get to know me, you got
nothing to lose. I'm not brown sugur
I'm not gonna melt. So just try to understand
try to help.

Sumebody get me
Understand who I am.
I leave clues like there
bread crumbs.
My heart on my sleeve is heart felt.

Sometimes people judge. I do too.
But I kept my mouth shut, act like
I don't have a clue. Because what I feel I don't say.
Nobody gets me anyway.

Somebody get me.
Understand who I am.
I see everything you see.
I just have a wider pan.

Sometimes I think strange thoughts
at night wondering if I'm really alright.
Death, disease, disharmony, sometimes
I think; "Is it just me?". I need a sounding board somebody to trust.

Is that asking much?

Somebody get me.
Somebody understand.
I'm only human on the outside.
People make me feel like a
stranger in a strange land.

Somebody get me.

Two Jumps ahead And You Still Don't Get Me.

I wrote this poem of mine on the fly and I was inspire by a talk I had with a friend of mine. I don't really know what it all means but the gist of it is about judgemental people. However you interpret it I think you'll enjoy it.


Run, run, run.
Go, go, go.
You have your life in order
and you think your better
than me.

Meanwhile back at the ranch,
I'm living life at the fullest.
You say I'm not and I'm
playing the fool but you
don't know me so more
fool you.

You look back and feel
satisfied. I look ahead
and ride, ride.
The future ahead of
me and you can only
see behind?

Are you really satisfied?

One jump ahead and you
still don't get me. Will you
believe that you still have
the power to upset me?

I know who I am, and where
I want to be. So why don't you
mind your business and just
let me be?

When you think your way ahead
of me, look down in front.
I'm the girl that's waving hi and
you just grunt.

I'm a fool, I'm an idiot, but with my
mistakes I'm ten time wiser than
you and I've got what it takes.
To survive, to thrive, to stay alive,
and while your feeling smug just
think of this; things stand the test
of time the longer it takes.

You wanna it done fast or do you
wanna it done right? My life is my
life, it's gonna be tight. So while
your two steps ahead and think
your perfect. I think you have
a lot to learn. Why don't you take
time to learn it?

Instead of judging me, criticising me,
and telling me I'm stupid take the
timber out of your eye and build
a house that's useful.

While your one step ahead of the game
while not knowing the rules and I'm
making the rules up as I go along.
Who's right? Who's wrong?

We'll find out later and don't be surprise
if you find me if I win this game of mine.

It aian't about you!

I wrote this little poem after this guy by the bus stop tried to pick me up and my way to work. (He was cute and all but waaaaay to young for me!) In the end though he ended up trying to sell me his RAP CD. Bought it of course but inspiration had to come from some where! Giggle!

It ain't about you!
By Clueuin A.k.a MAR

I put on lipstick and brush my hair. Spray on so much perfume I almost pollute the air. High heel boots, fat fur coats. So when I walk out the door, I look fierce.

But ba-by, here's the bad news....
It ain't about you!
Don't step to me feeling breezy.
It ain't that easy.
I ain't that easy!
What?
What?!

If I'm refreshing my make-up
it's not an invitation.
If I bend over to pick- up a
pencil, it's not a flirtation.
So don't step to me on the
train.
Are you insane?

Sorry son, I hate to break it to ya, (no I don't).
It ain't about you. Really.
If I'm feelin' you, I'll let you know.
You know?

Sometimes a girl just wants to look correct.
Sometimes it's all about Self-respect.
I mean where are you when I look a wreak?

So umm, don't come to me, step to me, with
a wack compliment/line. 'Cause if I need a
man, he's gotta stand the test of time.
'Cause sometimes ba-by.......

.....It ain't about you.
