I'Ll Take the Role
As I let these flow, the lyrics they get deep.
I only write at night when, I can't seem to sleep.
My eyes get rather heavy, my body, wide awake.
My pen keeps writing steady, as my hand begins to shake.
I want to change lives, as mine has surely changed,
My morals and beliefs, they have all been, rearranged.
I no longer fake. I no longer judge.
Regardless of the ache, I no longer hold a grudge.
Regardless of the pain, I'll learn to forgive,
All call me insane, but, this is how I'll live.
All of you can read, but few can understand.
I'll take the role as lead, pen and paper, in my hand.
