Sedate

Your suffering is always greater than mine,

you claim your fears are bigger.

Whine your feelings are better than mine,

insist my feelings are simpler.

 

Try to laugh my feats away like a joke,

but my will is more forward than yours.

Now don’t expect any warmth from me,

my spirit won’t be ignored.

 

You think you can quiet my defiance?

But I'm used to standing alone.

Your ego trips never get old

they only harden my resolve.

 

So you timidly try and silence me,

then make excuses to escape.

‘Cause your wits won't handle me long,

I’m the one you can’t sedate.
