Who I Should Be

All of my life people

have tried to tell me

who I should be.

but that decision is

totally up to me.

even my mom thought

I should act more aggressively

I have always been

a peaceful man but don't

confuse that with weakness.

if you leave me no choice

I will show you my

fundamental darkness.

I will be satisfied with

nothing less than

breaking your bones.

because I have a family

I need to make it home.

You do too, so we need

to enter a neutral zone.
