I've...

I've been on forbidden paths

And lived in useless dreams.

I've been the ***** the victim, and the queen.

I've danced in the rain and sung my last song.

I've laughed the hardest and cried the most bitter of tears.

And kept going long after the music inside of me died.

I've been everything that I needed to be,

not quiet what I wanted or needed to be.

But I survived.

I made it to the end of... me.

I reach the dead end of the road..

and climbed the mountains just to say that "I could".

I've felt the pain of the darkest night transform into daybreak,

with grace that I borrowed from a strength that was not my own.

And I learned to fake a smile to cover the scars of my failures.

I've lived the night mare of my worst fear, and stood in places

that no.. human... should.. ever.. have.. to stand.

I've been the peacemaker and the rebel.

Living in a world where I just don't belong.

Something beckons my heart, dare I go?

One last journey somewhere I've yet to see.
