“A Story of Me”

By Eric Benner

 

If I cannot be the same

I’ll take away the false thought

So I refuse to play the game

 

I won’t return from whence I came

As much as people say I ought

If I cannot be the same

 

So my mind you cannot tame

My soul was never bought

So I refuse to play the game

 

Others work their way to fame

It’s a great and sickening plot

If I cannot be the same

 

The masses, as they fall, scream a name

Knowing in horror they’re caught

So I refuse to play the game

 

And you fools thought you could tame

Me, but the lesson I have taught

If I cannot be the same

So I refuse to play the game
