Thunderstorm

I've done some bad things

I'm willing to admit

But I didn't mean for them to happen

Unintentional pain, I swear it

Sometimes I wonder

If this is all worth while

But I think of those who care

And I see your smile

There are times when I say things

And then wonder why

Wishing to take it back

Wishing to apologise

Some things are irreversible though

The damage is done

But you have to realise that I've been hurt too

You're not the only one

These things that I do

Are from the pain I feel inside

I've been hurt so much

That I feel I have to hide

They were supposed to love me

But I wasn't what they wanted

So with the slightest mistake I made

They jumped on me and taunted

I'm supposed to be the phoenix

Who rose from the fires of Hell

But with these things I'm feeling

You probably couldn't tell

Wait a minute,

This isn't me

What the hell am I saying?

What if they could see?

I'll put on my mask

My one true friend

And hide all emotion

This reflecting must end

I am the thunder

And you will fear me

Or be struck down

I could take you easy

Don't mess with me

Or you'll live to regret

This is just who I am

I demand your respect!
