Took time to look inside myself
I cried and tried to silence the rage that I've felt
I died to the immature alibi that I let be the one
To voice the insecurties I have yet to overcome
Tonight the silence is eery and not quite welcoming...
if you know what I mean
Not quite welcoming...
So eery feeling
Such a lonesome feeling
like nobody can hear me...
is so frightening ...
yet enlighting
still i got to keep shining
maybe i'm hiding the way i truly feel
Lord, knows I feel the guilt
Still a child inside my heart
And so fustrated!!!!
Trying to find a place
Here in this world
so back to the reality of things
what will this lesson teach me?
how it's effected me emotionally is evident
yet brought on by my mistakes
is love all it takes
trying not to let my heart break
yet it breaks and doesn't hesitate
As it allows my soul to percipitate into a river
of my reflection
and the pieces fallen
so i don't know where to begin
i just don't know who i am anymore
i want to win
i want to overcome
i want to begin instead of end
i don't want to look back
i just want a friend
who i am inside
not what i've tried to pretend
no more lies
bare naked truth
of my desire from my youth
i'm going to take control
now that i'm on my own
i've got to let you know
that you don't know me like you used to know me ...
i'm trying to grow
blossoming
beautifully
freely
sweetly
illuminating
anticipating
watch out for me
cuz i won't fall to my knees
dare to dream
