You say You're Not

wrote this in elementary school, like 5th grade, after my dad left.

You say you’re not,

but you’ve become what you dread.

You act as if you’re flipping a coin

what to do and what not to do.

You say you’re not that person.

It’s what you were taught;

why you do what you do,

say what you say.

deny all you want,

but that won’t ever change who you are.
