Who I Am


I don’t take prescriptions

Based on peoples descriptions

              Of who I am

Because they don’t like my vision

Based on my decision

              Of who I am

Not phased with the blame

Or the cruelty behind a fake name

              Of who I am

Friend into a stranger

Save your fucking anger

              For who I am

Rained you in nothing but kindness

Love can you blind, yes

              Its who I am

I’ll watch you burn out

Then take away all your doubt

              That’s who I am

I don’t take prescriptions

Based on your competitions

              Against who I am
