Who Am I?

I've been looking around, and I see the possibilities

that this world had and threw away.

There has to be something I can do to help,

but this 'me' can't save the day...



Everything I do no matter what I'm trying for

seems to fall apart at my feet.

What can I do? I'm tired of being poor...

Lord please come and save me!!!



Who am I, and what did I do with my other self?

This one's a lie, but I can't put it on the shelf!

I won't deny how I have condemned myself...

Who am I? Lord please save me from myself!



I go through it over and over...hurting and being hurt.

Will it stop as I get older, or will I just never learn?

How can I say that someone belongs down there?

No...I try to help them because I care...



Who am I, and what did I do with my other self?

This one's a lie, but I can't put it on the shelf!

I won't deny how I have condemned myself...

Who am I? Lord please save me from myself!



What do I do now? Where does it go from here?

Can I change it, or must I live in fear?

I'm afraid to die, and not make it to be with you.

An eye for an eye, maybe I am blind too!



I am too blind to see just where things go from here,

and that for me you shed those bloody tears.

Can no one save me from this life? I don't want it anymore.

I know you are right, so I'm opening up the door...



Who am I, and what did I do with my other self?

This one's a lie, but I can't put it on the shelf!

I won't deny how I have condemned myself...

Who am I? Lord please save me from myself!

Only the Lord knows why I wrote this one...it just came to me as I was writing, but it came from my heart...
