I was given one life
Planned for me to waste
Where I am not told to draw
But the right way should be traced
But I don’t believe in rules
Or being told what to do
So I’m ignoring all this *******
And starting something new
I was not born to learn
What has already been found
I am here to discover
What is left to do with sound
So next time you say it isn’t that bad
And I should learn to deal
Think of how you feel
And if it’s all that real

Finding a the dawn in the dead of night
Can’t let the goal get out of sight
I’m hoping to find that in the end I’m right
And we’re right for each other

I am told that I am free
That I can be whatever I want to be
As long as it fits within the confines
Of our society

I believe that I’m a slave
And if I misbehave
They’ll curse me until I break
And forget the freedom that I crave

My words don’t seem to be all I hoped they’d be
When I put them together they sound wrong
But we are just the sum of our parts
And words are less than equal
To the meaning of our hearts

I’ve been drowning in the ocean of your eyes
It’s turning into the only thing I know
And it may be the thing that breaks me
But I can’t forget it’s the thing that waked me

Treading water when I long to fly
The way you smile when I want to cry
This just might be the roses thorn
I’m torn

I’ve grown tired of caring
And I’m sick of feeling
What am I even hurting for?

I’m moving on to living
I’m trying out my new eyes
What was I even seeing for before?

I can’t muster the courage
To let myself take things on
So why not let them go?

I wonder what it would be like if the tables were turned
You could have all the knowledge that I’ve learned
But hurt in a way that wasn’t earned
Swap you’re heart for one that yearns

I wonder if you hurt like the ones who are alone
The ones they would disown
A reality you can’t postpone
All the more real when you are grown

I wonder if you spent a day ignored
Feeling like who you are just makes them bored
Everyday leaving you floored
Alone in the world

Would you stand up for yourself
Or hide behind a smile
What is easier?
Facing your fears or letting the pain compile

Or you could just give up
Not give yourself another day
But that’s no solution
There has to be a better way

Some might pray
Some might run away
But you can choose to love yourself anyway
