I Am

I am the truth behind your lies
I am the bad effects from liquor,
The thin hair that got thicker,
The leftovers from the other day,
The work when you want to play,
The genius that you've never unleashed,
The fight that got you bloody teeth,
The salvation of God you spread,
The old you that's gone & dead,
The misunderstood child,
The dirty clothes that lay in a pile,
The bad habits that come back,
The teacher that cuts you no slack,
The success you worked hard to achieve,
The chilliness running up your sleeve,
The frostbite @ the tip of your fingers that dissappear,
The resolutions you make and break every new year,
The love when you don't want no lust,
The betrayal of the person you trust,
The allergic reaction from general dust,
The future of your past,
The friendship that will never last,
The car that runs outta gas,
The backtalk & and the sass,
The number you can't count too,
The shoestrings in your shoe,
The knots behind your ties,
The sadness behind your sighs,
The secret between your thighs,
The conscious inside your mind,
The stop behind the sign,
The guilty behind the crime,
The '8 Before the 9,
The pleasure that comes with pain
The loss that comes with a gain
The right mind when your insane
The right side of your absent brain
The fright behind your reaction
The climax whenever you maxin
The heat behind whatever you packing
The pieces you pick up whenever your slacking
The word you can't pronounce right
The terror behind your fright
The darkness when there's no light
The love that evolves from like
The guilty feeling when you messed up
The hurt from every cut
The "who, when, how" with what
The quick reaction when you duck

You see I'm everything that's absent from your life when another's present
The conscious pointing out the wrong, the missing lyrics to the song
So whenever you got one thing going think of the opposite of it
& Realize I'll be there even when you thought that I wasn't.
