My true self
February 17, 2010
Love is a joke without a punchline
I am a hero without a lifeline
Risking my life to do what is right
Doin it all to fight the good fight
But now i look upon the night
and wonder if what I do is right
Fighting the pain with all my might
Lonelyness a symptom of my disease
push away people with painful ease
anti-social and and anti-me
fearing compassion inside of me
