Worse Is What You Will See

I want to be more
But can that happen 
With someone like me
To Become more than what the others expect
To become the complete opposite of who they say I will be
I will be
I will be better
No, not me
I already see it
I will be 
Not what they say
But even worse
If they expect such bad
I ought to show them what I have
Determination
Yes I've got that for a bright future
Well, had
I already know I'll end up in jail
So why try to be better than what they say
Apparently my future is laid out by them
I have a prophecy in this world
It's reality
Not just TV
Everyone fears me
Even as I walk trough this world unknown by my own family
Death blood drugs
It all makes me happy
I can get away from what they say
I don't have to worry about my trust issues
No one's around me
It's just me
I don't have to listen
I don't have to watch
I don't have to play the villain in their written roles
I am my own antagonist
They fear me
I fear me
I stay here
And fear me
