I have been shallow, I realize that now Considering my impact on others first Leaving the concerns of materialistic importance for myself. In this double life I have been leading I have fooled myself Trying to find reason to believe in others I ignored that it is myself that needs believing in.
My critical eyes have become my enemy Rendering me blind to obvious faults Without knowing, I have trapped myself deeper in their clutches Focusing on disconnecting from my mind Backfiring because I'm back in their world Unintentionally, it's all I think about.
It's time to rethink my strategy Take a refresher course on my mission. Attempts to suspend the command unwanted have been countless, And unknowingly, I have deserted control of the living, breathing, me. I blindfolded myself, but still peered through the gaps So I'm closing my eyes, and pray sleep stays for a while.
Keeping finger and thumb apart That is the one connection we shall still share But no longer will i try to believe in my two selves No, I will start believing in the person The being that my movements and choices will give effect and reward to. Me, out here. Living and breathing.
The ghost of me will never cease to exist She will float, and I will let her continue for a while. Don't fret, my beloved enemy, I'll be back soon A Wendy to this Peter Pan story Returning with needle and thread to sew my old shadow to my feet. But now, I'm flying, no, walking back home. Farewell.
