I'M Not Your Enemy

Bipolar by nature Sick in the mind You and your antics I just don't have time You as a role model? Don't make me laugh You're clueless, I would be foolish to follow your path I'm glad God called me out And made me His own To learn His ways And make Heaven my home If it wasn't for Him I would be just like you, Mean. Selfish. Lost. Confused. Ice cold, Completely dark I guess some people Just don't have a heart Only when you can benefit Do you like me around But other than that You don't make a sound It's quiet. Silent. No words are exchanged It's hard to believe That we share the same name We share the same traits Same genes, same blood You call yourself a parent But you show no love I'm glad I'm mature And God made me wise He gave me discernment To see through your disguise To know how you see others Is a reflection of how you see yourself And the pain you cause me Reflects the pain you were caused by someone else But I'm not the problem So don't take it out on me I am your child I'm not your enemy
