Nothing To Lose

Nothing to lose 

My psyche is in disarray
Feeling under constant duress
I throw tantrums
As emotions wreak havoc with my senses

My life is not my own
I feel unable to be me 

Everyone wants a piece of me
No one wants to know who I am
They wish to rearrange me 
Confusing me
Exhausting me 

I guard my freedom jealously
The ability to be me
Makes me happy  
I ferociously cling to my individuality
I am no one else but me

I have sated and unfilled needs
My wants often harass my psyche
I sometimes feel deeply unhappy
But contentment can sometime comfort me 

I am a mixture of emotions
That often disturb me 
The melting pot of my mind
Is the birth place of my eccentricity

I like being me
I am thankful for my history

I hope to ride the ups and downs 
That is a life full of variety 
I want to achieve immense heights 
I want glory mixed with infamy

I have nothing to lose 
My pride will bolster me 
My humour will comfort me
My resolve will carry me
