If You Must

If You Must
I can read, I can write
I can breed, proven plight
Nurse my greed, crease infold
Is it me, or my ego ...
Write some words, make them rhyme
Thesis or story line
Set the mood, something new
Is it me, or my attitude ...

Ahhhhh...!
If you want
to put off
an image
The extremes (x2)
Act it out
Practicing
Perfecting
Pressuring
Onto me (x3)
I will wade in the fire
To explain your asylum
Idle times, analyzing
We'll compare all our sightings
You must

I can read, I can write
I can breed, proven plight
Nurse my greed, crease infold
Is it me, or my ego ...
Write some words, make them rhyme
Thesis or story line
Set the mood, something new
Is it me, or my attitude ...
If you want
to put off
an image
The extremes (x2)
Act it out
Practicing
Perfecting
Pressuring
Onto me (x7)
