This Is All I Can Be

Undercover I lie
Not wanting to be found
Just wanting to be seen
For the man I could be
No more dark clouds over head
No more thoughtless nights
Lying awake believing I am nothing more
Then a pigment of my imagination 
Searching for a reason for all this resentment 
Reliving the same outcomes every day
Resillantly searching for some type of calmness 
In a world gone mad
By the creation of my own self worth
Out in the camouflage of my own denial
Can't even see my self out of the same Ole situations 
To destroy whatever I may have built within
Embattled in trust for what I wish to be
Constantly crossing the same Ole solutions
The way of the world may not be the way of me
But the direction I travel must be sincere and complete
To carry on in the face of disappointment 
And remember I am me and this is all I can be.
