Police Checks by Mimi Gilbert

Police checks
Finger prints
Expired, where’ve you been
I've got a sharp sharp feeling in my gut
Can she come with me will I have to leave her behind
A rock and a hard place, I don’t like hardness
What if they don’t believe us and we are parted
I’ve got a callous growing in my mind
I’ve got a callous growing in my heart and mind
Who am I
Who am I
Who am I without you

My mother
She’s not proud
Looks me in the eyes as she says outloud
You live in darkness keeping you from God above,
The devil tricks you into thinking this is love
I opened up my mouth I swallowed all of that
So must I leave here now and never come on back
But who am I
Who am I
Who am I without you
Who am I without you

Homophobic, maybe I was
And the fear was growing in my nail beds
In the dark these claws would nearly take my own head
I need to be here now and learn to love myself
Oh mimi love yourself like you love someone else
Who am I with out you?
