I Am

I am what's constant to your brain,
I know you want me, but I can't feel
your pain,
I am what mentally keeps you insane,
And the pleasant of your words are
in vain,

I am what makes you so blind,
Not even your heart can leave me behind,
I am what stays on your mind,
You'll feel me, when you've been hit in the
back of the head,
I am what makes you fall, 'cause it's you
I want dead.

I am what gave up your life,
Everything you had, even your wife.
But don't be afraid,
It was an even trade,
I am the sacrifice you've made,
It's the little one's who needed
you to pray,
Instead you let them astray.

I am not what's wrong, but right,
I am the anger that makes you fight.
I am what's wrong,
But where you belong.

I am what makes your cries fade,
And the sun shade,
I am what makes the hurt go away,
But I am the game that you like to play, &
What brings you back everyday,
Once the pain is gone,
I AM what makes you strong,
I AM not what you give,
I AM the greed,
I AM not what you want,
I AM what you need,
I AM not what you see,
But what makes your heart weak.

I am what made your life drain,
I am actually the cause, & blame,
Of what drives you insane,
I am the hidden soul that makes
your blood bleed,
I am the addiction they call "SPEED".
