Gotta Be
There are things that just kept me
Keeping me in check of who I am
Though too often I do not see
When simply a darker time can only lend
Always to the brink to push
As always a solution never to appear
When simply a self found to lose
Why the need... when everyone is *****?
We are who someone recognize
He who excels, he who fails
Just another someone passing by
He who wouldn’t, he who wills
We are only taught what we want to be
Can you teach someone to be no one?
Is it not too often you are what you don’t see?
You know... in life... you are never done
I need to be dead in order to stop
What be the things that kept me?
I need to know what I have got
Though too often.... I do not see
