One Stupid Dot

 

Me & M.E, same letters separated by a dot

One’s who I am, one’s what I’ve got

One’s who I used to be, one's what I’m not

Oh I’m still me, there’s just a dot In-between

But It’s a dot that can stop you from living a dream

It’s a dot that separates the M from the E

And while It’s sat there It’s hard to be me

The Me That I Was In Healthier Days

Before the dot came forcing the parting of ways

I’m nothing as M and empty as E

But side by side again I could be me

That dot has got a lot to explain

How can something so small cause so much pain

So much devastation, be endlessly cruel?

It’s just one stupid dot after all

Why does It have to be stuck In the middle

Causing complex symptoms that read like a riddle?

I have to believe that just as It came

That dot will mysteriously vanish again

Every night before sleeping I hope and I pray

That I’ll wake up as me without a dot In the way.
