I am...me???


I'd like to say that

I am me

I'd like to say that

I am all i can be

but these monsters 

that i hide 

are slowly killing me inside

 

I'm in a business

a business of misery

scared of trauma

screamin' mama

just tryin'

tryin' to stay out of drama

 

maybe they'll leave you alone

when you fall as their throne

 

I won't be stepped on

I am me

it may not be much

but I won't plead

not for life nor for death

 

only I

can take my last breath
