'if you don't swim you'll drown'


I am your cheat sheet
or your favorite time waster.
I am a safety net or an empty seat,
a hollow shell clean and neat.
a shoe tirer or a book holder
escape car or personal joker
I am anything you please, but a human being
 
I am not a sister or a daughter
friend or a simple slaughter
an enemy or a bother
I am not human, through your eyes

my tears flood me like they do you.
So why am I not human?
I bleed the same blood as you.
So why am I not human?
I love like you, I breath like you, I lie like you, I fall with you.
Yet I am still not human.

You don’t know my heart the way you know my face.
Im just a number in your name game
I wave my white flag in this war
lay my weapons on the floor
but you show no mercy, when you swore,
tomorrow would be a blast
but all you do is repeat the past.

I am not your cheat sheet
or your favorite time waster.
I am not a safety net or an empty seat,
a hollow shell clean and neat.
a shoe tirer or a book holder
escape car or personal joker.
I am anything I want to be.
 
I am a sister and a daughter
friend and a simple slaughter
an enemy and a little bother.
I am human.
