The Way I Am
I walk down the city streets, alone on this empty sidewalk.
The dark brisk of the night begins to fall; the grey curtain rolls back, as the sun begins to set.
I walk alone, side by side with my shadow right behind me.
I care not for the luxuries of life, nor the problems of those around me.
I'm a simple boy, living my life.
* * * * * * * *
I am strong but scared.
My un-ending pain continues on as time goes by.
Happiness, is close, but seems so far away.
Can it get any worse than this?
My secret bloodlust; my secret weapon.
No one knows the rage that drives me, the impulses running through my veins.
I take revenge for the fallen.
This, is the way I am.
