I didn't want to hear them say I told you so
That which has been engraved in my soul will always be mine
I can speak it
But even those who are listening will never understand it
And I will never understand their reasons for doubting me
Unless they have tried on this skin of mine
They will never feel the passions that live inside.

I just wanted to make you happy
To make you see your worth
Carefully,
I tried to mend the pieces of your broken heart
But I should have known better
For it's true what they say
When you try to fix a heart that's broken
You are bound to cut yourself on the shattered pieces

She sat silently
But her mind spoke loudly
She smiled politely
But inside a fire burned
And there is only so long one can keep such powerful forces hidden within
And when they finally slither out of the dark place they once dwelled
They will finally see all that she beheld
They'll never look at her the same
They'll fear her, mock her
Tell her to remember her place
But she knew too much now
To revert to her old pleasing ways
She was ever-changing and terrifying 
She was someone not everyone knew how to love..

I've spent many nights
Mind spinning with thoughts
Twisted illusions take the place
Of my hopes of a restful sleep
The lessons
I have learned 
from all the wrong I've done 
Should be enough
To satisfy my appetency 
There have been days
I've wavered in and out of faith
But selfishly I still sit and pray
And when I get what I desire
I don't long for it anymore
And now I am left to sit and ponder
In the twisted mind of a stranger.

You don't understand 
I won't be this way for long
So if you only love me today
There is no need for you to stay
I want to be more
I want to be better
And there is only one thing I know for sure
I will never stop feeling this way

Ignite a fire inside my heart
It only takes a spark
And the whole thing is engulfed
Quicker than a wildfire
Clear that which
I have no use for anymore
Make room for acceptance
For love
For desire

lately I have found,

the less perfect people are,

the more I love them,

the deeper the pain,

the more beautiful life is.
