I'm Me

I'm me. I'm I.
The brown-eyed
English-Argentine
Son of two soulmates
Who were always destined
For more beautiful things
Than this world
Could ever afford them.

I'm me, the guy
Who always seeks why
When the most satisfying
Answer is
"Hey, that's just life."

I'm me and my
Empty dark life
Was lit by the stars
In my son's
Big brown eyes.

I'm me, a brother,
A Mummy's boy
Without a Mother,
The proudest Father
A husband-to-be,
Prone to over-thinking
Prone to self-pity.
But wise enough now
That it never last long

Before I wake myself up
And I tell me I'm wrong
To feel hard done by
When I have in my life
A beautiful, wonderful
soon-to-be-wife,
The best friends on the Earth,
A wonderful sister,
Best son in the world.

I'm me, the guy,
Who doesn't always get it right.
But who's learning
Through his yearning
That it will be right this time.
