If I could be
A different me
A bit more kind
Would I find
My true feelings I conceal
Would I still be real
Do I have to be brash
Let my intolerance crash
Would respect still be there
Should I care
If others are weak
Why should I seek
A calmer path
Withhold my wrath
Can I execute my objectives
Keep things in perspective
Look outside myself
Put my rage on the shelf
Am I a gentle soul
Is this giving up control
Is this fear I'm feeling
That has my mind reeling
So I take a step back to observe
My opinions now i must reserve
Whether it's fair or not
I'm on the spot
There watching my every move
What do I have to prove
They will wait for me to slip
It's cool for now I'll bite my lip
Revise a better strategy to prevail
I'm not the one to play I won't fail
