This Wake I Myself Have Stirred

I kid myself

Bring it onAfraid to turn

But I did and met no maker at all

Only instead, reflections of a rippled self

I may at last see myself as good

In a neutral pond unbiased and realDepicting only what is true

(What is true)

A distortion my hand has forced

I have created the wake

I may at last see myself as goodPaint a false, paint a false scenario

(Scenario)

My life has been a breach of contract and faith

I kid myself, I kid myself, I kid myselfMoving through self degradation

I turn to you for appreciation

So help me to help myself

So help me to love myself
