Am I
Am I what you say?
Cold and heartless
A user, liar and cheat
Living a cycle on repeat
Do I say nothing
and stare into space
While you apparently confess
love, kindness and grace
Is my heart frozen solid
Incapable of letting you in
A disgraceful game player
With the objective to win
Do I place friends and family
above your head
Is all my energy given to others
Should you receive it all instead
Do I hide my emotions
Purposely triggering your pain
Only inviting you over
If I have something to gain
Am I cruel
Is my heart black as coal
Is my true self locked away
Your truth, I'm often told
Who am i
You have no idea
Too busy assuming,
dictated by fear
I am not perfect
I swayed from our plan,
But, I am NOT the person
YOU repeatedly tell I AM! .
