SO WHAT by Tom Jensen
I'd like to meet myself
Through another set of eyes
Am I really who I think I am
Or am I wearing a disguise?
So many of my friends
They like to play pretend
They all swear they are
Just as you see
While in truth
They know not what they are
Nor what they could be
Becoming seduced by their own lies
Caught within a state of suspense
Somewhere in between
fantasy and reality
Failing at becoming wise
When what they find is the illusionist's
imagery disappearing
Right before their very eyes
As all of these people places and things
Keep playing tug of war with my strings
There's just so many faces that I have
either worn or seen
Too many locations I have been
The good, the bad, the ugly and all
that's in between
I could never recount all the roads
I have traveled
It is simply amazing that I have yet to unravel
Sometimes your best
It is just not enough
So it seems like
it's time to give up
When you've never seen your face
on the front or back page
When you've never seen your name
up there in the lights
So what if they've never seen you
playing up there on the stage
So what if it turns out
You didn't make the cut....
So what?
