Morissette, Alanis

Album:  So-Called Chaos

Title:  Not All Me

I wear their face on top of my face

I am the perfect

target screen for your blindly-fueled rage

I bear the brunt

of your long-buried pain

I don't mind helping you out, but I want you to remember my name





Past-riddled rage

I see the buttons I engage

With my dignity in place

I'm all too happy to assuage





Lest I find my voice

find the strength to stand up to you

Lest I state my limit and take on only what is mine too

We are a team

I'm here to help mend and re-seam

All I trigger unknowingly

a job I hold in high esteem









I'll only take some of it
