Thread: Me, Myself, and I

Aiming to please, I did it all for you
Constantly dancing on a bed of needles
Screw up once, the dance is done
The pain I endured so easily forgotten
Ducking out with the rising sun
Just me, myself, and I

Always patient, always kind
My heart hopes to appease
To make you smile, to make you laugh
Hoping for that single chance
Looking the other way, you never notice
Just me, myself, and I

Answering the call of duty
Disciplining my very soul
In fear of damnation and recoil
Everlasting turmoil—
Even then, I am not enough
Just me, myself, and I

At the end of the day,
All shall fall by the wayside
No mommy or daddy to care
No loved one’s embrace
No god on my side
Just me, myself, and I
