Days like today,
make it hard,
hard to stay on track,
so hard to keep on moving
and hard to not look back.
Days like today remind me,
that only I'm to blame,
For all of the mistakes I've made,
creating all this shame!
This day it only makes me re-gret,
some things I have done,
Pretending I'm the person that,
I'm trying to become!
Fooling those around me and,
convincing them a lie.
These aren't my true intentions,
but some things I still do hide.
I dream the day that I am changed,
and do not have to run,
or pretend that I am someone else,
and foolish me is done!
It's pride I want in knowing that,
I'm loved for being me,
not judged in my confusion or
accused in some degree.
If I could start this life again,
the chance I'd pass it by.
I know not much would really change,
no point to even try.
If I could cut away right now,
this ugly part from me,
the part that hurts us all the most,
that no one else can see,
To cut my human nature out,
to stop all of the pain,
I'd only hand the knife to you,
cause I've caused you the same!
