i am
i am
i am
i am just what i want to be
i'm everything i never thought i could
and exactly nothing everyone thinks i should be


i am
i am
i am
i am crying myself to sleep
you thought i was made of stone
how wrong could you have been


i am
i am
i am
i am draining my life straight down the sink
so i guess i'll be alone as well
while you pride yourself on that intellect


i am
i am
i am
i am hating everything about you baby
and it feels good
everything i thought you were is a lie


i am
i am
i am
i am better off without you
the hours count down as midnight comes
and i am so not looking back


i am
i am
i am
i am so much stronger than you could ever be
or even gave me credit for
so this is goodbye, don't bother returning those calls
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

    Whoever he was, he made a big mistake because he was seeing a very talented poet.

    Your poems have been useful for my own recent troubles as well...thank you.
    All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

    Is it hard to write with a razorblade?

    blood's as good as ink, right?

    Probably better in some cases. Still, I never received any calls.
