Is This Me? by Jersey D GibsonLook at this disgrace,
staring at me in the mirror;
it is everything I've hated,
and everthing I fear.
What do I hear from my lips?
all the lies that I want to be true;
but you believe me,
don't you?
-Is this me,
-can't you see?
-I feel I can't take it anymore.
-This is me,
-don't you agree?
-I'm feeling I won't care anymore.
They found a way to kill me,
sending shivers down my spine;
no matter how much I hate myself,
this messed-up life is mine.
Seems every path I take,
only leads to nowhere;
and then, out of the blue,
the bullets scream from somewhere.
-Is this me,
-a tragedy?
-horrid reflection with gun in hand.
-This is me,
-now you see?
-ending my life would be so grand. 12/08/2002 Posted on 12/08/2002 Copyright © 2024 Jersey D Gibson
