Would I ever be able to bear with your pain?
Would my shoulders slump,
Would my insides shudder?
Would my heart give way,
Or could I see something better?
Would I stand as life took its blows on my back?
Could I think just one time without dwelling in lack?
Could I walk as you walk past my skeptical glare?
Would I look as you look with your misty-eyed stare?
Where would I go as I watched my home crumble?
How could I walk on as my family stumbled?
What would I do if I lost all I've known?
How would I cope if I were alone?
I've blamed you,
I've cursed you,
I've left you for dead.
I've bruised you,
And beat you,
What's wrong in my head?!
I think these 4 walls that I've boxed myself in
Demonstrate how I'm strong and I'll fight and I'll win.
But I forget these 4 walls are a trap with no view,
No window to see what's right or what's true.
Because if I tore a wall down to see what I'd see,
I'd realize the real problem's not you, it's me.
