The Other Me

The other me doesn't smile

It doesn't hide

They can be rude they can be crude

They can make me look like a prude

The other me doesn't conform

Doesn't follow the norm

Doesn't dress like they are told

Is not afraid to be bold

They live to serve their own joy

They don't seek to destroy

They are here to be raw

They know life isn't long at all

The other me is trapped in a cage

Inside of my mind inside of my brain

Pounding on my heart as it tries to escape
