Me . . .
I, myself, and me .
I like me and I know me
The way I smile, the way I talk
The way I move, the way I walk
Make me . . .
I, myself, and me .
Then there's the monster inside of me
It comes out of my head, out of my chest
It comes and takes control of the rest
Of me . . .
I, myself, and me .
Like a venomous snake, the bottled up feelings
Come rushing, pouring, exploding out
Anger and rage, I want to shout
At me . . .
I, myself, and me .
The monster, the tyrant, it takes control
So fast, so quick, I don't realize
I lose all the power, caught in surprise
By me . . .
I, myself, and me .
The actions I do, are done without thought
Spinning and spinning, around and around
Caught up in the moment, the feelings safe ground
For me . . .
I, myself, and me .
I hate it, the lack of control
There is no smile, I don't choose what to say
These moves aren't mine, so I run away
From me . . .
I, myself, and me .
To a tranquil place, a peaceful place
Where I can calm down and take a break
Where there is no monster to make an earthquake
In me . . .
I, myself, and me .
Slowly and steady myself and I surface
Control, . I seize for good
The monster, . I know it could
Take me . . .
I, myself, and me .
But I know it won't, without good reason
An argument, a tragic event
A mistake I make, simple discontent
Hurt me . . .
I, myself, and me .
My fragile self is quieter
Carefree and happy, steady and strong
Now I feel like I belong
To me . . .
I, myself, and me .
Safe from the monster inside me .

As always, comment, and if you find any mistakes, let me know!
