I Am But Me
Had an epiphany today, a realization to my dismay
That I was never evil, despite all the words that I say
I've always questioned the planet, trying hard to understand it
Humans and Gods, Why are we here? I often ranted
If I questioned God, then I must be bad, I believed it
Becoming the serpent, the Devil and the hate I received it
But I was never lost, just wanted to be my own boss
My soul isn't the cost, my spirit can't be simply glossed
I am me, gleefully accept responsibility
For I am but a man trying to be a living diety
My love and words have never meant any harm
I just wanted to be the one to raise the alarm
If our eyes are closed, we aren't legally blind
If our minds are confined, then we aren't one of a kind
No better than cattle, I won't be domesticated
Understanding of oneself can never be underrated
I think I finally made it, to the other side of the shore
A castaway no more, I've opened a new door
