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.
