I’ve done everything they said I would

Become everything they said I could

I was raised believing I’m no good

I’m scared I’ll never make it out of the hood

But I’m still me

Me

Someone tell me otherwise

Someone feed me velvet lies

Someone hold me, help me get through the night

Look at me I’ve barely aged

Father, tell me I’ll be saved

Find me someone

Point the finger and blame

That isn’t me!

Me!

I am everything the voices say

I cry but never do I feel the pain

I’m not you, I’ll never be the same

Pinch me or I might fade away

Am I still me?

Me?

Shut the door, And leave me here

I’ve given into all my fears

If they ask you tell them I’ve disappeared

They take away everything I give

But no, not once, I never hated it

If I could I'd give my will to live

Don’t be like me

Me
