You see everyone always says I\'m kind
Patient too,
Everyone, even you;
But my thoughts are about me first
I\'ve given enough of myself
To see me at my worst,
And I shouldn\'t have scars
Where other people were scathed
And I shouldn\'t be wasting my thoughts on you anyway,
There\'s only so much space
And when I give and give
You only take,
I guess my space means nothing
To someone who does not care,
So neither will I
When the going gets tough, I dare
I dare to be the villain
Rather than rave
About how I was the victim
In anyhow, any which way,
I dare to be cruel
When others don\'t care
About my own space
Or whether I think it\'s fair,
I dare to be selfish,
To care about my own health,
But is it selfish
To want a better life for yourself?
I dare, I dare, I dare
To be what my parents weren\'t before,
Happy and free
Without a lovers scorn,
So when you see me next
Don\'t ask who I\'ll be,
Wonder if I dare or dare not
Be me.
