Who I am
Though eyes are open,
I’m rendered blind
These thoughts still come,
Invade my mind
These ears are deaf ,
To songs of love
All thanks, i feel,
To God above
My lips are sealed,
As if with glue
Restraining me,
>From cursing you
My hands are clenched,
My muscles taught
I feel so empty,
Depressed, distraught
Time and again,
You witnessed tears
You gave me pain,
For countless years
You took my future,
And wrecked my past
I'm running scared,
And running fast
You gave me dreams,
You gave me life
Then you got bored,
Created strife
You write the script,
You play a game
But now this joke
Is getting lame
You contradict
And tell me lies
You throw me down
Each time i rise
If i am happy
You send me woes
You take my smile
Before it shows
You play havoc
With my mind
Day after day
A constant grind
But i am stronger
Than you think
I will succeed
I will not sink
Cause all the things
You’ve sent to me
Have helped me learn
And set me free
They’ve made me
Who i am today
The pain was worth it
In a way
It’s made me strong
I cannot lie
It’s who i am
Until i dieSeptember 2003
