Caroline Witherington - 2 Halves

I've been through things that no one should
though no pity I am wanting
Just because you may think I have peace
I've got ghosts that often haunt me

Mistakes I've made are big ones true
If I said you wouldn't like me
I've ran away and abandoned too
Join the club of those who have judged me

I swear I don't mean to sound crass
But sarcastic is often my way
then again I am a sweet woman often
But I've been rather angry all day

I'll admit right now I judge others
I know I shouldn't it's true
But again and again I have done it
Hit me too hard with words I'll cut you

So why am I writing this now
I'm asking myself as I go
Do I have an ulterior motive?
I don't know I really don't know

Don't get me wrong I have feelings
in reams and in stacks all around
but there are days I hate what I say
I wish everyone would just melt in the ground

I scream and I have a hot temper
I've been known to throw things around
I bet by now you hate me or love me
If you listen real close you'll hear it right now

What will you hear you might ask me?
the sound of that voice in your thoughts
the one that hates or loves these words
no matter how fast the reflection's not caught.
