I AM ME

Even though I love you

I'm not allowed to care

Even though I want you

I'm not allowed to dare

Even though I need you

I'm still in this nightmare

Wake me please

Before I die

Of heartache

Of loneliness

Of loss

Of despair

Without you I am nothing

With you I am chaos

Within I am torture

Without I am in complete control

As I look out the window

I see hatred and pain

My mind whirls

I find myself laying in the blood

The blood shed by the innocent

I close my eyes

There is the peace

The peace that finally makes me see

I am me

No matter what

I am me
