For far too long
I've been comfortably numb
Walking to the cadence
Of someone else's drum
Expectations are piling up
And running me ragged
The edges are harsh, always broken,
And jagged
Creating many different wounds
That have no time to heal
I built walls around them all
And forgot how to feel
I lost my identity
Trying to become who everyone needed
All the while, killing my inner self
That faintly begged and pleaded
How do I reacquaint myself
With a person I never knew
Being OK with who and what lies ahead
And opening the door to something new
