I Know Myself and I Know Me

Really! 
I know myself and I know me
I look into the skies and it seems 
Gloomy, I know
 I know myself and I know me
Confidence? Really!
No I don’t think so
Remember you were that  Angel
Who always descend down with
‘You’re not ready boy’
This was the revelation to boost 
My confidence? Really!
I know myself and I know me
At times, timelessly counting stars
Maybe I could find mine, shining 
You remember?
That moment I told you 
 ‘Allow me to fly once again’
Am a coward? Really!
I cry sometimes but not just because 
I can’t wipe my own tears
Maybe because my tears only pours down
To wash the bitterness and sadness 
In my heart.
I know myself and I know me
Circumstances have always seized me in crevices 
But never undermine my determination 
I know myself and I know me
I smile always just because 
Love has quenched every fire in me
Your companionship has loose it 
Credibility 
And I believe with love, I can change your world and my world to be a better place extinguished from Negativity.
Cos love will  always prevail.
