"YOU DON'T KNOW ME"

You don’t know me well enough

especially to live my life

to make such short-sighted assumptions.

That’s okay, though.

Everyone’s entitled to their own opinions,

no matter how flawed.

You don’t know me that much

to say what I should or shouldn’t do.

That’s okay, though.

I’ve been so used to being misunderstood.

Sometimes staying mysterious feels good.

I don’t care if you’re confused.

You don’t know me.

Maybe, you just don’t even want to.

Are you eager to find out what’s really true?

I’m amazed that you have the time and energy

to work on, or perhaps to come up with

plenty of absurd theories about me.

Thank you, honey,

but I am no celebrity,

just an ordinary me

you may find so freaky.

Just like many,

Full of speculations,

You may never really know about me

if you keep listening to them

instead of talking to me,

like, directly.
