what you see 

is what you see 

not what you see

what you read 

is what you read 

not what you read 

I am that I am 

that I am not

what you see

like me

like me

please

like me

please

for who I am 

for who I am not

for who 

I seem 

to be

to you

my garden grows

more beautiful 

than yours

 

my flowers

flower

and who are you

to know

who I am

who can know 

what is

if I matter

at all 

it's only because

someone once

said to me

as I say to you

the only words

you want 

to hear

you matter 

to me

for real.
