Two years ago
My heart was broke
I was lost beneath tears
And dying beneath the smoke

But today you made me realize
That I can't always hide forever  
I have to come out of the dark
And mend these bonds that have been severed

I'm scared to open up
But I don't know anyone who isn't
And I'll take baby steps into the light
As these nagging thoughts are persistent

You keep telling me that I'm beautiful
But in the mirror I can never see
You keep telling that I'm amazing
But I feel grimy

You say my hair is most beautiful beneath star light
But I see my hair as coarse
You tell me that my eyes are a rare beauty
But I see nothing special

I lost confidence in myself two years ago
I lost the ability to see
I let the dark watch out for me far to long
And it's time I fully became me
