I am being frank
Listen I am for sure I, an outcast
An outcast tortured by the pain I have to go through
The pain of the past, present and even the future
Listen
I am just being frank, Listen
I didn’t choose this path
Maybe I did but i am being honest
I have been captured by emotions that I can’t even remember choosing it
Listen
I have been set
The past years are on my shoulders
I can’t let them go even if I want
Listen
Just as fast
I thought I would be fine at last
But!
But turned to be the other way
A way I wished it was away
Away from my soul
But!
Here I am
Beinv frank and honest
I didn’t choose this way
I got caught up
Caught up by situations
Situations i wished for them to end
Only to be tangled by the calamity
Calamity of just being human
I am just honest
Listen!
I am not a hero
My life amounts to zero
With all the worst that have happened
I cry
Listen!
I didn’t want it this way
With this I call an emergency
Be my 911 and answer
My soul is dying
My spirit is grieving
And yet!
I am my own worst enemy
Come rescue me
Depression is my food
Bi polar is my disert
I, just human I am
I don’t know what i wanted
Or what I thought
Or even what i fought for
But I convinced
My emergency call will be responded
