this is me

this is me
collectively
in entirity
completely me
is what you see
that's what you get
you won't forget
you see my sweat,
anger, tears, smile,
pain--every single mile
all the while
i hold nothing back,
no lack of reality.
i am your three-sixty view
that zooms out and through
nothing to hide
nothing inside
everything out
in the clear
i am here
in front of the live studio audience
in dolby surround sterio audio
high-definition quality
all of me
love it or leave it
you better believe it
this is my soul
this is my all
this is my every-little piece
this is my lack of inner-peace
this is my inner-rage
that came with age
this is my invisible dad
the male influence i never had.
this is my insecurity
looking for a cure in me
is there any curin' me?
--well is there?
this is the other side of me,
the secret suicide in me,
the other side you never see,
the side that you're too scared to see.
the sensitive romantic
with the lovey-dovey antics
the things that he cannot supress
this is me: no more, no less.
this is me.
look at me.
this is me.
make no mistake.
this is me.
the man, no myth.
this is me.
love me or hate me.
this is me.
you will know me.
this
is
me.
