When you look in your reflection
Tell me what you see
You see the person that you pretend to be
And everyone else can see
But you can put your guard down
When you hang out with me
How come you can’t see yourself
How everyone perceives you to be
Your many insecurity’s, it’s all humor to me
Your smile is sweet, your personality is forgiving
But your eyes are fierce and your chest is burning
Everyday you’re learning more about yourself
And I can’t wait to see you
Take a step out
Because you’re a beautiful person
Inside and out
you’re like a lion in a cage and i want to let you out

I see the shadows
From the corner of my eye
They fall near me and dart across the sky
My mind is wrapped around
What facts can’t define
Time wasted
Running out of time
I’m waiting for you and what you might find
I’ve decided it’s going to work this time
A tug at my heart
As I see the shadows part
I should have known
The warning was the spark

I’m walking on broken glass
Looking up toward the overcast
so many empty faces pass
no one looks at me
and they leave at last
I’m between the present and the past
no relationships are going to last
I’m nowhere near any kind of track
maybe if you had paid more attention
I wouldn’t be hurting this bad
my heels dig into the grass
but I guess I’m ok
everyone’s still rushing past

what do you stand for
can’t avoid what’s there
turn up the volume
with your eyes you dare
you can’t keep me down
go ahead, save face
sometimes I wonder
if you are worth the chase
I never said you were wrong
we just are on a different page
I hunger for what I enjoy
I couldn’t help that you were my first choice
you fill me with rage
but I know I’ll be okay
the truth hurts
you hurt me by showing me
a different way

Disappointment rises
peace of mind waits at the horizon
no one to rely on, no one to confide in
hope and strength, in my heart you can find it
I crave and I need
but I’m getting lost in everything
everything against me.
Exhausted and drained I fall to my knees
everyone watches as my energy depletes
I hold all the love close to me, all that I see
it’s not enough to silence
my utter feeling in inadequacy
I’m afraid for the future, for what is unseen
forgotten where I’m bound
there’s nobody to be found
when no one’s here
where can my guidance be found?
although I’m well intentioned
there are a few things I failed to mention
I’m in need of security in need of affection
trials and tribulation
prevent any illusions of protection
I’m cautious because it’s hard to tell what’s fake
I have to take initiative, don’t wait
don’t have time
to explore my heartache

in a distant place
we lay on our sides face to face
in a green meadow wearing white
I can see us smiling eye to eye
our hair is longer, there is peace and ease
what use to be uneasy is now released
because it seems so impossible
right now this present time is too strange
maybe in a later day
as of now too much is deranged
much more too learn
my only choice is too delay
I can only hope I don’t miss that day
You make me feel like I’m doing okay
I want to know
I need to know
will you wait for me
I want time to find the words
I need time to calm my nerves
I know it’s you I want
you’ll find me bettering myself so you can see
there is a light like yours that can reflect in me
I’ll put my feeling on hold
let the answers be told
it’ll take a great deal of work
to get the what our future holds
we will unravel and unfold
until in a distant place
was lay on our sides face to face

the more I take action
is the less I have to think
the more I reflect on others
the less I have to feel
when I sit still
the truth is overwhelming
I have no idea
where this all is going
am I happy?
Or is that a false emotion
one can only be happy
when they stay in motion.
