4/23/2012 Take me as I am Or take nothing at all Conditioned by my environment To fight or flght or just take the fall Prisms of light encompass the sin Rays of flame burn my flesh, such agony Yet here I stand, daring the worst Causing temporary blindness, butnow I can see. You seem unapproachable when you so desire The pain will subside, as you severe my esteem But that's ok, I've been through worse. I'll take another one for the teame. Wish you could truly understand, I am real Every disaquise and camoflage I use to guard my heart you see I've been so wounded in the past And for me, only the true, I can truly be. So will you risk it? Or is there too much at stake? Why do you lurk beneath the shadows? If I let my walls fall, will my heart break? You are so beautiful to me Even if you don't believe it I couldn't hurt you even if I wanted to Open your eyes to the true love you can get.
