(Can You See) The Real Me

(Can You See)The Real Me

Though lately less liable to lose control,

I struggle still with toxicity;

sometimes I can’t help but be an arsehole.

My default position is, on the whole,

that of a chauvinist monstrosity;

though lately less liable to lose control,

if I inadvertently play that role,

indulge me a humble apology;

sometimes I can’t help but be an arsehole;

it’s like I’m ascending a slippery pole;

a climber with a split personality,

though lately less liable to lose control;

self-awareness is a faraway goal,

I’m often my own worst enemy,

sometimes I can’t help but be an arsehole.

If eyes are the window to the soul,

and you looked at mine, would you see the real me?

Though lately less liable to lose control,

sometimes I can’t help but be an arsehole.
