I Showed Me


With no cause or a hint of duress I’ve snatched loss from the jaws of success

and then scolded the sky for the lousy old hand I’ve been dealt.

I’ve stood tall in my shoes with no weight to lose

and still seen fit to tighten my belt. 

What a shame,

I might now claim a surplus of glee

but I showed me.


Without so much as a glimmer of threat I’ve stared down every good egg I’ve met

in the fear if they helped me at all they’d have favours in hand.

I’ve had plaudits to spare for the words and the hair

and still seen fit to badmouth the band.

Don’t it sting,

I might now live in sin by the sea

but I showed me.


With no risk of a life under thumb I’ve shown full hearts the door and played dumb

to the armour and pedestals measured for no one but me.

I’ve been drunk in a field with the deal done and sealed

and still felt there’s was elsewhere to be.


I recall,

she held out her hand and enquired if I’d join her in dancing beneath the marquee.

And having danced I might now take for granted a home in which 

she’d help me up from my knee.


But you can bet your boots


that I showed me.
