I bleed br I need br And sometimes I cry br Just like you br br I’m prone to imperfections br And sometimes br On reflection br Fall short of where I’d like to be- br For I am human too, you see br br I fight my own demons br While rescuing them from theirs br br I listen br Put other’s needs before my own br Suffer alone br br But few really care, br Or even understand the way I feel br br So today br I must save myself- br br Today br I retire my shield!br br Jennifer BrownBanksbr br
