What I've always wanted
I realize
Is for someone to see
the world through my eyes
Though no one ever will,
I fear my mistakes and misdemeanors
seem unclear
to all but myself
In solitude i find my own place
to go when i fall from grace
.
.
.
time and time again
And from my closet i pull a mask
the performance begins!
as i do every menial task
to appear as they expect
And even in a different place
unknown eyes watch
and present every case
for unwarranted scrutiny
and then the people i thought would stay
the mistakes i made
oh,for those i did pay
.
.
.
dearly
Apologies seem to fall flat
as the multitude of roads I chose
that seem to be recurring
So see the world through my eyes
i beg of you
please recognize
the efforts of my newborn self
put past memories
on a shelf and let me start anew

all about wanting to get past where you have, been trying to break free of who you were
