Who I am

Music: “7 Deadly Zens” by Tommy Shaw, “Vicious Cycle” by Lynyrd Skynyrd, “Re-Foc” by Rodrigo y Gabriela
Mood: surprisingly calm

DHL called this week:
- We have a delivery from Australia for R.O. We’d like to make an appointment for the delivery time.
- He doesn’t live here anymore.
- Oh… well, we’ve got his PO Box.. but we don’t deliver to PO Box. We need the signature, you know… We found this address in the telephone book.
- Ah… Well, ok, I’ll take it then, I’ll sign the paper… I’ll send it through to him… somehow.
- Good! Thank you. … and who are you?
- …….um….. um.... his ex… that’s the situation.
- Oh, I see… Well, thanks anyway.
- You’re welcome.

For a short moment, I couldn’t say who I was… I could just say my name, of course… I think that’s what he wanted to know… Stupid of me. .. But honestly I really couldn’t say my name either. I just didn’t know who I was.

Who I Am

Someone hurt you bad and that’s for sure
But they won’t ever hurt you any more
Somewhere down the road it will be gone
But until that day you just have to carry on

Every time you trip and lose your step
You complain and cry that you need help
But help is gone you just don’t know it yet
The race is on and you never placed your bet

So you cry cry cry
All night long
You say why why why
Is my love gone
Say please please
Help me if you can
Why don’t you call someone and ask them who I am

Your eyes feel like a camera in your head
And somehow you just stumbled onto the set
The movie’s just too real to walk away
But the end is coming and the bad guy’s gonna pay

So you cry cry cry
All night long
You say where where where
Did I go wrong
Say please please
Help me if you can
Call someone and ask them who I am

So you cry cry cry
All night long
You say why why why
Is my love gone
Say please please
Help me if you can
Call someone and ask them who I am
You want to know you better ask somebody
