To woe and to live.
To keep and to give.
Dead yet alive.
Lazy, and yet I strive.
Who I am is me.
For that is all you see.
I hide no lie to who I am.
I am the lion, and I am the lamb.
Weak and strong I grow.
Soaring high and crashing low.
I am good and I am bad.
Secrets and answers to be had.
I'll never lie, but I won't tell all.
Unless you've climbed the high wall.
A guard to my heart, a block to my head.
Without either, I would surely be dead.
Who I am is what I aim to be.
but who I am is not only what you see.
A question is both harmful and good.
Ask away, you really should.
But careful, for words can harm.
And you will set off the alarm.
Come and flee, do either or.
Come in the window, or out the door.
I have no time for the selfish and greedy.
I always respond to the kind and needy.
A mask will be all you see, 
Should you never ask of me.
An answer I'll give, and you must take it.
I pay no heed when you throw a fit.
I owe you nothing, as you the same to me.
I owe you nothing but what I see.
My time is mine, my life included.
The notion it is yours, deluded.
Take heart from this, a promise to.
I don't listen to what you say to do.
Ask, and I'll decide the outcome,
For, to you, I will not succumb.
