Broken Silence

You say you know me

But when's the last time before this moment you told me that?

Couldn't tell me off the top of your head

So I guess that remark was irrelevant

I'm not coming off rude

You've just been conditioned to believe that

The truth will make you feel convicted

And then you have two choices:

Turn your back on it or face it

Think of how I may feel

I won't make you,

But if only you put yourself in my shoes

You would see or know how hard it may be to have to be the one to tell you

I want to see change

Get out of your current cycles

For there are lessons to be learned and they all don't have to be negative

I know because these days I no longer cry but smile

I chose to get out of that ugly cycle of mine

And while you may think I'm ugly for the truth I speak,

If I was to die today

I bet your ego would die along with me

And you would just see the beautiful soul that once had been placed inside me

Although I would get the praise

It was not I who taught you,

But it was the spirit in me
