i'm damned if i do & i'm damned if i don't

[r_and_om]

i swear, i swear, i swear.

no matter what i do
i don't get through
i feel something inside
which i cannot hide
& although it may be the death of me
i will not hide
i will not be afraid of what i feel inside
nor the words i speak
for they run deep
i feel as if every word i speak
is bleak
made to feel weak
maybe i should hide truth
within lies
it seems as if people despise the truth
want to be shoveled deceit
spoonful by spoonful
further ahead i would be
if i hid behind lies
trying to deny what i am
i am only me
I can only be me

setting my thoughts free
is one of the few freedoms i have

don't be offended, it's just me being me & it's as real as the next tree you see.
