~I Don't Wanna Be..!~

(This is now in my self-published book: A Special Something, that version is swear edited for younger readers). But this piece is of course all about those days that we have that are bad right from the moment we get out of bed. Or when we are around or associating with difficult people and circumstances. Nothing in life guaranteed to be perfect or smooth sailing, so for those times in our life we should sit down and write funny little, songs and poems or stories like this! We all need to release those cloud storms that hang over us at times in our lives! Cheers, I hope you enjoy this! :-)

~ I don’t wanna be.... ~

Ever have one of those days,

where you want to:

kick and scream, and shout?

Ever have one of those days,

You think:

“Why the fuck should I be nice”?”

If you ever have one of those days,

Just scream...

“I don’t wanna be nice!”

Why not be ugly,

Why not be mean

Why not be hell - raising too?

“I’m tired of all the bullshit

the things we have to go through...

I don’t wanna be

I don’t wanna be

I don’t wanna be

Nice!” “No,

I don’t wanna be

I don’t wanna be

I don’t wanna be

Nice!”

“I don’t want you to like me

I don’t want to like you,

I don’t want you to like me

So I’ll just say...

Fuck You!”

Now where was I? Oh yeah, if you ever have one of those days,

(Play nice, don’t do what I just did!)

Just scream...

“I don’t wanna be

I don’t wanna be

I don’t wanna be

Nice!”

“What’s wrong with ugly?

What’s wrong with mean?

What’s wrong with hell – raising too?”

“I’m tired of all the bullshit...

and the things we have to go through.”

“I don’t wanna be

I don’t wanna be

I don’t wanna be

Nice!”
