Ego
An alter ego
Who's brave and expressive
Hides behind words
That fills these poems
Not strong enough to tell the world
What been going on
What I tend to do
So I put it into words
And hope I get a message through
Hope it's clear enough
That I get my message through
So you don't make the mistakes
That I sometimes do
An alter ego
Who's brave and expressive
Hides behind words
That fills these poems
