what i write is what i am
what i see and where i stand
twisted dark and full of tears
an open heart drenched with fear

     what you write is what you are?!?
      a self absorbed open scar
      dark and twisted and full of tears?!?
      more like weak with thoughts unclear

what i write is what i do
not a style that others choose
haunting screams and evil eyes
shadow things that try to hide

     what you do is fucking dwell
      in a place you know too well
      the screams you hear and eyes you see
      are your own that you keep

what i write is WHO i am
trying to cope the best i can
purging out and letting go
my own self doubt of words that flow

     what you write is NOT who you are
      youre failing at the coping part
      try to purge with all your might
      but youre holding on too tight

what i write is what i think
the thoughts that dance inside of me
from razor blades... to peircing thorns
the toll it takes to ride the storm

     the thoughts you think are getting old
      you hold those thoughts way too close
      the thorns still pierce and the razors slice
      because you wont leave them behind

what i write is what i write
nightmares dreams and the things i fight
pain that stings and thoughts that hurt
immortalized through structured verse

     what you write is what you write?!? 
      yourself is what you really fight
      the pain you feel and thought that hurt
      youre rubbing salt with all these words

what i write is what i feel
emotions that seem to overwhelm
instead of love and peace and light
i write of dark and pain and fright

    what you feel is what you write
     but what you feel is trapped inside
     instead of turning towards the light
     in the dark you try to hide
 

what i write i would rather not
but sometimes its all ive got
if i could erase all the pain
i know i wouldnt write the same

    if you would rather not... then just dont
     youll take its strength if you let it go
     take the pain and spit it out
     theres no real comfort in self doubt
