“I Am, What I Am”

(Clarissa Rosalia)

I’m just an ordinary person with ordinary traits

I even have considered myself as of no great
I have nothing much to show, in fact I don’t have anything
But myself and just as me, as simple as I have been.

I am the kind who simply cries my heartaches and my pains

When I am hurt and discouraged to some things that I’m in
I too could laugh and dance the tune that is being played
But I’m a person of my own that can never be replaced.

I never brag about myself like others used to do

My friends and people told me that my kind of heart is true
I do the things in simple ways which to others seemed so great
Yet all to me it’s just my nature as though it’s all but play.

I maybe dumb or sometimes bad with some things I demand

Like being faithful and devoted to the one I love
I am jealous yes it’s true ‘cause I don’t really share
The man I love with anyone, which is just isn’t fair.

I make mistakes just like others ‘cause that’s the way it is

Human’s nature and so true, inevitable assets
But then I’m very careful not to hurt the others
Cause to me it’s not a game to see someone in tears.

I love helping people and understanding them

I don’t expect anything to give me in return
As what I’ve said I have nothing, but I can surely give
My true self and affection, my life if needed.

I am person of honesty, which have been on my mark

I am bold and outspoken whenever I am asked
I don’t make lies if possible cause that ain’t my nature
But If I had to, yes I will, to avoid a big trouble.

But in the end when things are calm, I am just as I am

The simple person who I’ve been, since the world begun
I may a fighter too sometimes but then I’m soft inside
I just need love, a faithful one and by me, will abide.

I don’t need precious jewels, nor a famous rhyme

Much promises are just some kind of lies that I have cried.
I’d rather have to be alone and be at peace with God
Than have someone on my side with love full of lies.
