Focusing on taking steps after steps but forgetting to take a breath Mimicing strength while my shield was rusting I said I am fine too many times I know this shell needed to break So I could shine This mask needed to fade away So I could look at myself in the mirror Admitting my vulnerability and finding the chemistry of happiness Admitting my ignorance and finding the road to knowledge Where there is room for improvement There is space to grow When things seem to collapse Just an opportunity to start again

Empty Shell
Focusing on taking steps after steps but forgetting to take a breath Mimicing strength while my shield was rusting I said I am fine too many times I know this shell needed to break So I could shine This mask needed to fade away So I could look at myself in the mirror Admitting my vulnerability and finding the chemistry of happiness Admitting my ignorance and finding the road to knowledge Where there is room for improvement There is space to grow When things seem to collapse Just an opportunity to start again
