No Such Thing As Me
©Jerry Axson

I went to see my Mother and I said -
woman, do you know me?
She threw her hands up to the sky and cried -
Redeemer, let go of me!
I went to find my Father and I said -
man, could you show me the way?
he passed through like a wiff of smoak,
never looked back - went on his way,

I looked deep in the mirror,
to see if I could see,
the monster they have grown to hate,
no such thing as me,

No matter what you think you know -
no matter what you claim to see,
you can all sleep in peace tonight -
no such thing as me...

I stood before the people I work with -
submit myself to them,
they took the best I had to give -
there’s nothing left in the end,
I lay with my only love -
on a soft bed of eider down,
one thousand kisses for healing -
every wound in my broken sound,

I stared deep in the mirror,
to see if I could see,
the monster they have grown to fear,
no such thing as me,
