This is me

2004-07-12

This is me
I am obsessive compulsive
I love to smile
But I don't get a lot of opportunities to do so
I'd like to love
But you've been so far away

This is me
The waves wash me away
And no one notices
So time after time,
I try to get up on my own
It burns inside
But I never give in

This is me
My life is complicated
Even though it doesn't consist of much
But I make something out of everything
And not before long,
I've made a mess that can't be wiped away

This is me
Once I start crying
It's hard for me to stop
Cuz all the thoughts of you come rushing in my head
So I dwell on things
And then, they just seen worse than before

This is me
I live in the future
Whatever I do,
I think about how it's gonna effect my life
My life 20 years from now

This is me
I am driven by fear
I don't take risks
Cuz I'm too afraid of what it's gonna come to
I am driven by fear

This is me
I live in a prison cell
And no one comes to visit me
And when I can't breathe like you,
I inhale deeply and exhale
I do that several times
And finally, I am reminded that I'm still alive

This is me.
Do you know me?
