Riptide
I live in my own personal riptide,
 Created by the misfortunes tossed my way in life.
 Hypocritically judging my surrounding
 To a fine piece of hair to a perfect life.
 But I have my reasons,
 Not always fair,
 Can’t say that I care.
 I’m selfish.
 Then again, who isn’t?
 Scream, fight, run, cry, scars.
 Tell me, what do you do?
 Tell me a lie, its easier right?
 My misfortunes have made very bitter, cynical.
 Never been a fan of doing thing’s the “right way.”
 I’ll say I’m sorry, but I probably won’t mean it.
 Unless I’m in tears begging you to stay. 
 Digging the hole deeper,
 Making the tide more violent with my pleas.
 I promise you won’t make it out the same.
 I’ve come a long way, 
 But I’m a virus waiting to be caught.
 It’s dangerous.
 I’m not who I say I am.
 But don’t ask me who, 
 There’s no stable answer.
