Self I.D.

When I see
the pavement gray,
I fall.

The clouds roll
inside me, watch
I pray.

Stop the madness
show me the light!
Oh do you see
the misery?

Try release the cage
made by the hands
of you and me--
my self i.d.

How long now
the torment stained,
lost hope.

I'll never
swim downstream,
feel life gained.

Stop the madness
show me the light!
Oh do you see
the misery?

Try release the cage
made by the hands
of you and me
my self i.d.

This is a poem turned to song that I wrote in high school. For some reason I felt like I needed to play/sing it today.
