"I'm not a monster" I say
"At least I hope not" I pray
But I'm not as kind and optimistic
As they ignorantly see
I know I can hurt you if you force me to be
If my filter disappeared
Would they leave me for years
Would I go through the world by myself as I fear
I obsessively think of these thoughts while awake
And even asleep my dreams cause me to shake
So I tune it all out
And my arrogance wins
But who said that arrogance will keep me from sins
Because arrogance is a problem as well
It divides the human from passion, not hell
Division is what causes all of the disruption
When you have one foot out the door and the other one in
"Make up your mind" They all seem to scream
Is this what it's like when they take away your dreams?
Do you want to control it?
All the chaos around?
Learn the ways of manipulation
They won't like what they've found
You don't use it to hurt them
But to make sense of the world
You watch as the others
Display their fool's gold
You know that it's fake now
You have the power to see
They can't use you anymore
You're out of their reach
But now that you don't fall for their tricks and their lies
They're scared of the person you've been hiding inside
You won't even hurt them
But from their lack of control,
They're scared of the monster at bay that you hold.
