ALL OF ME IS ME
I’m a real nice guy who tries
But I’ll screw you in the eyes
Inadvertently
When my pride is me.
All of me
Not just what you see
Or what I want to be
Is me
I have my high ideals
But testing them reveals
Occasionally
I act cynically
All of me
Inconsistently
Contradictorially
Is me.
I’m loving sweet and kind
But my passion you will find
Whelmingly
Get the best of me
All of me
Cowardly
Outrageously
Is me.
All of me
Not just what you see
Or what I want to be
Is me.
