Why?

Okay, so I wrote some lyrics yesterday. Why? I have no idea. I'm not a lyricist and I certainly don't know how to write music. But this 'song' and the words kept playing in my head so I wrote it down. Part of the 'year of writing dangerously' is to examine the creative process and do what feels natural as a writer. So here are the lyrics to the song that was floating around in my head. I wish you could hear the music that goes with it but short of jumping into my brain I don't know how that can happen. So, think of it as a weird poem, I guess. And if anyone knows someone who wants to set it to music, let me know!

I think I miss me
I'm not the girl I used to be
I was a poet, and a painter
But you thought that I should try
To put my foolish dreams aside

I think I lost me
When I found you
I'm not blaming anyone
But it's time for me to run
And find the me I used to know
The girl I was so long ago

You thought you'd fix me
And for a while I didn't see
But I think we can agree
I wasn't broken
Just not what you had in mind
To make your perfect kind of life

I need a partner
To stand beside me
Not in front of
Or behind me
Who believes in what I am
And wouldn't want to change my plan

I think I lost me
When I found you
I'm not blaming anyone
But It's time for me to run
And find the me I used to know
The one I was so long ago
