Am I Not?





There ain't nobody like me,
and that's not such a good thing;
it makes a person lonely.
There ain't nobody likes me.
I can't say I disagree;
I'm kinda irritating.
There ain't nobody like me
but maybe that's a good thing.

When I think about my life,
which I try not to, often,
I'm someone's mother or wife.
I don't think about my life,
when I can help it. I like
to reinvent and soften,
when I think about my life,
which I try not, too often.
