Look at me know
Here as I stand in front of you
and tell me What I am
Am I a warrior?
Someone who is strong willed and would protect?
A person who never gives up?
Or am I a follower?
A person who just goes with the flow of the crowd?
Maybe I am an adventurer.
Always looking ahead and moving forward
Could I be a romantic?
A person who brings the pleasure and joy every day?
I could also be a writer
Always putting things in words people have never heard before

But now really
Take a look at me.
Look at my mouth
No soft words come from them
Only cold harsh devastating words
to add to the misery around me
Put your hand to my heart
and feel the rock that sits there now
replacing the once golden heart of mine
Once care free and happy
but learned never to trust
never to drop its guard
never to show emotion
and never to live again

If you can see past the acts
the makeup
the costumes
maybe you can see who I am
As the corrupter of life
and the monster that dwells inside of me
I am
now and forever
stand alone on this rock of existence
