Part of the Problem

These are the realities I must face
Being the person I am today
I am part of the crowded race
I'm part of those who deserve to pay

I am worthy of the punishment
Worthy of the pain
Worthy of the tragedy
Meant to lose the game

I am part of the problem
I'm part of the shame
The one who lies to others
A cheater all the same

The one who kills to survive
Thinking only of myself
No worry for anybody
When they need the help

How can I beat my own will
And overcome my own heart
To destroy these barriers
And find a better place to start

And no longer be part of the problem
