Shed the optimism

I couldn't ask for more of a perfect way.
To say say I am cutting my self off.
From putting my first up to fight.
For a breath, light or silence within.

Cause it's too hard looking at you... like your a criminal.
To say your line in the sand has been crossed.
Cause now I'd watch a crucifixion, and not say a thing.
No words of sorrow due to the fact it's written on my arms.
I'd sit real quiet and observe my self dyin.
Then I'd brace my self for a deafening blow.

It's hard to be the soldier today.
Cause that better man doesn't live here.
It's hard to be the savior today.
Cause that better never lived in me.

I once saw you smile. The day you walked to the grave.
Held in your hand a cold sick sound. And put it in my ear to grow.

Now there's a bottom line to this monologue.
I would put a curse on aspirations, to laugh.
I couldn't ask for more of a perfect way.
To say say I am cutting my self off.
From putting my first up to fight.
For a breath, light or silence within.

Cause it's too hard looking you... like your a criminal.
To say your line in the sand has been crossed.
Cause now I'd watch a crucifixion, and not say a thing.
No words of sorrow due to the fact it's written on my arms.
I'd sit real quiet and observe my self dyin.
Then I'd brace my self for a deafening blow.

Cause it's too hard...
To be the soldier anymore.
Cause it's beyond me...
To be a savior.
Cause I don't even know if I'm tryin
I can't handle it.
The spinning of my words.
Cause it's beyond me...
To be a savior.

I really like this write, Lee. I reread it twice and I'm not sure what you are trying to express, but I know what I got out of it.

Only critique: You have some spelling mistakes.
