I don't want to share my PAGE, but I want to share a message with a short URL link to something.

Here's a very easy way to do it: http://www.facebook.com/facebook-widgets/share.php

I think you are looking for the Facebook API stream.publish function:

http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Stream.publish

or FB.Connect.streamPublish:

http://developers.facebook.com/docs/?u=facebook.jslib.FB.Connect.streamPublish

Both of those require extended permissions. You can use <fb:share-button> (FBML or XFBML) which does not require the extended permissions because they run on the facebook server and enlist the users interaction to publish.
