Influence

Influence is like a toxin coursing through my veins

Runs from the ear, traveling quickly through the brain

As the ooze moves, leaving behind a dirty trail

Of self doubt, self loathing, and loneliness

This place I call my home is not where I belong

I need to set myself free

Can someone help me from this influence diease?

It comes from the mouths of so called friends and family

Telling me to doubt

Telling me that this is all I am capable of

That if  I remove this tar from my wings

I am only Icarus destined to fall

I am an outcast I never belonged

Does someone have the cure to this influence diease?

I need to find the answer

I need to set myself free

Cause I know I am capable of more

Destined to fly on beautiful wings
