You want to know me
You want to get deep with me?
Fine...
You win!
Congratulations!
You are about to enter a battle
Not a battle with me
But a battle within inside me
You wanted this
You asked for this
For this wall...
This wall around me
To be tear down in ashes.
You asked me
What's going on?
What's going on in that little mind of yours?
You don't want to know this
You don't want to know
That it's hard to breathe
That it hard to be me
At school,
I walk around
What do you see?
They ask me
Oh,
I see everything
I see the pain
I see the torture
That human race makes of each other
But what else is there?
They keep asking me.
I see chains all around me
Me moving ever so slowly
Classes are hard to go to
How am I supposed to walk?
What if someone notices and call me out on this?
Then they really think I want attention
What do you believe?
They ask me
Well...
I don't believe in myself
That a sure factor
But let's not go into that
I am only here for one chapter.
Let's talk about
Believing in others
They need it more than we do
Bring up their spirits
Then surely ours will be too
Don't talk about them
Like they are trash
Don't criticize
Everything that they do
Don't judge their character
Get to know them
Because they are human too
You see
You want to know the real me?
You want to get deep with me?
For me to tear down this wall around me
Then how about you start with this chapter
Make a difference
Once you do that
Then I advise you to turn the page
Because that's when I will be glad to show you
The real parts of me.
