I Pledge Allegiance To Myself

by Alice   Jan 1, 2006


I tell you sorry
Trying to be as sensitive as possible
You only look at me
With an angry, haughty look
Well what the hell did you want me to do?
You got a bad grade
Im not the teacher
You dont like something
Well you change it
I learned that no matter what I try to do
Comfort you or try to be understanding
You always want more
So now guess what
If you want something from me
You got my sympathies
Human nature is dependent
So easily destroyed
So I vowed to
Pledge allegiance to myself

I pledge allegiance to myself
Because thats the only person Ill have in the end
What the world was trying to tell me
Its the same thing over and over again
Betrayal, confusion
Endless questions of Why and What If
But I finally got my mind clear
And I finally understand
The dark side of human nature
As long as the price is high enough
Theres no such thing as loyalty
I thought I knew what it was
But I didnt
But if there is such a thing
Treasure it
And keep it alive

Sometimes I feel like the person on the side
You can always turn to
when there\'s no one else
For you to talk to
Like Iâ??m a dumb animal
One that begs for attention and when it receives it
Will love you forever
But Iâ??m a human
Even though you don\'t treat me like one
Iâ??m hanging on the edge of a cliff,
with waters billowing below,
falling off the edge,
with nothing to hold onto
but you donâ??t notice
Or you donâ??t care
So I swore
I would
Pledge allegiance to myself
