The Terrible Me

Location

From what I see everything is black and white
 
Except darker, soundless, absent minded
 
Learning about yourself should be easy right
 
Wrong, it's like your rivaled
 
With yourself 
 
For I have always been the families little diamond
 
Always been told what to do, to one day share my wealth
 
But now I'm all alone and a common
 
Coal left to find what's so precious 
 
About me, what makes me shine
 
In this dark vortex of nothing but a horrendous 
 
Amount of dilemmas confined
 
Around me sucking my life away
 
Like a vacuum sucking up debris
 
As I try to find my passageway
 
Of freedom and sense of giddy
 
To where the darkness finally end 
 
I find myself running in one place on a wheel
 
Its never ending, soon I begin 
 
To think is this the end of me, have I lost my will
 
To go on in this never ending maze 
 
Finally I see my way out, a mirror,
 
No it's just a blur, a haze
 
Of who I really am 
 
A follower, a leader, no I am me
 
And me is who I am, and then wham
 
It finally hit me, the key
 
To all of my problems
 
My escape from this black hole 
 
Was in front of me the whole time
 
Acceptance of me as a whole
 
It was as easy as picking up a dime
 
But I found out my worth 
 
Its individuality
 
Something that I was born with since the day of birth
 
But was hidden because of the insanity
 
Of the criticism of the society 
 
But now I know the truth
 
There's no need for anxiety 
 
Because I am the new and improve
 
Terrible me
