I am not
(to my surprise).

I am not.
Do you realize?

I am not.
Where can I hide?
(from myself).

I used to be.
(I didn’t appreciate).

I used to be.
I know that it’s too late.

I used to be.
How did I choose this fate
(for myself)?

I wish I was
(what I could have been).

I wish I was.
Why can’t I forgive my own sin?

I wish I was.
Limited time to begin
(to recover myself).

I wish I was
( ‘nt).
Seeing the pain within
(my sensitive self).

I am not
(to no surprise).

I am not.
I now realize.

I am not.
No longer can I hide
(from your judging eye).

Open me up.
