I Followed What I Felt

I was confused I was out of sorts I didn't know what I was doing I wasn't sure I wasn't enlightened I followed what I felt And it took me to where I am Which, perhaps, is no place at all And the eyes that people have Differ from the ones I possess For I see no wrong, no right Perhaps, I should And don't think I don't know How everybody looks at me I know you all condemn me, now For being...what I am And what am I? Be I devil? Be I whore? Be I sinner? Can you really judge me? Are you without fault? Perhaps, if you climbed down off that pedastool Then maybe you could see things Through me Close your eyes And listen to the meaning See the reason Yes, there are reasons Reasons that are, perhaps, beyond reason Love Does that make a difference? Would that change your narrow mind? Have you really forgotten How to understand me? Am I really that terrible? Am I really that far gone to you? Damn it to hell I have nothing left to offer you There is nothing more to say Except what I have always said Sometimes we fall in love with the wrong people For all of the right reasons I was confused I was out of sorts I didn't know what I was doing I wasn't sure I wasn't enlightened I followed what I felt
