I Ought To Be Thy Adam

I would give anything to be real like you.

To be the one who inspires life in the pieces of ourselves we thought gone and buried.

Who believes in second chances

And doesn’t care what the mobs say, no matter how cruel they can be.

I would give anything to be real like you.

But instead, I’m afraid of fire.

I’m afraid of the name I’m stuck with

Constantly wondering if people think of me as the man

Or the monster.
