I Am Tragic

Tales of a tragic hero Why did he choose..me? A sinful man I am..how is it that I am? Is this hell? Im I his nightmare!?? What am I? People expect me to come with the clouds so literally? God help me I'm still trying to figure out what it means!! I wake up one day..just turned 18..told I'm the son of God I many ways I'm tired of keeping it to myself so all the time so judge me Is this it? Why me? Why not someone else.. someone who's good with people And not so disturbed I'm not the smartest man that ever lived.. Hell..I passed with abc' and one D My whole life I felt forsaken by my mother and biological father Not knowing what that close love even means Now they step into my life..try to tell me who to be What the hell do you want of me!!!!!! Im not Superman But I could really use some wings So I can fly away from this hellish dream It's all fun and gamrs until the pieces Aline I'm just a tragic hero stuck in babylon Am I blackened?? Or is my light just unseen When the Antichrist comes Will I be who you want me to be Sadness and pain and sorrow sear inside me Who am I??????? Let me out of this dream!!! I'm just a tragic hero.. If I'm supposed to be the one who died so long ago Why do I struggle still with what's inside me???
