Try Being Me

I hear these stories about stress and strife But I invite everyone to live my life Women go crazy and murder those kids Life throws curves and they are on the skids They rely on men and cry when they are alone To drugs and alcohol they are prone To numb the pain and the memories But leave the children alone I beg you please They can't speak up for themselves you see It hurts to acknowledge, cause it used to be me Who cried at night for my Mom and Dad Whose birthday every year was lonely and sad So to all of those people who let their minds go Step into my memory and enjoy the damn show Everyone has thoughts this much is true But how would you like me to hurt you? To gain your trust then push you back down To always turn a smile into a frown Watch the news and everyone will see How truly tough it is trying to be me
