This Is Me
This is me
This is who I am
Im not a girl of good fortune
Yes, I went to school
Yes, a two parent home is my origin
Ask
Is this me ?
My pride
My ego
I refuse to look down on those less fortunate
Why?
Because I'm less fortunate
No, not homeless
This is me
I lack the knowledge.
Knowledge to know how the world works
Blind to see people for who they are
Oblivious to the signs.
This is my silent killer.
The killer that roars loud in the end.
This is me
I try to hide.
Hide behind what isn't there.
Bring me from the other side,
Or kill me now for this I swear.
