I think at the beginning I did not believe it
But I was there…in the flesh…mentally a million miles away

Half of me excited, the other numb
In a way expecting something bad? to happen?

sigh …lurred me in. Finally I was all in.

My guard down.

My worst fears became true

Another side of you I saw.

And now my walls are back up again
Even Flynn Rider cannot ascend this tower

Its not that I do not want to let down my hair
It is just that I have no hair to let down any more

Why do you run?

Why do you hide?

'Cause I know it won’t work

Play it cool
And say hello

And I’ll smile and say
“Hey” to you too

If you ask me:

Illusions run
In the mind of the one
Who is small

Lifting up my eyes
I start to behold
Peace joy serenity
How could I

The world around me
Offered so many solutions
So many solutions
How could I

I tried and tried
So hard to put
Two and two together
How could I

Life seemed to better
A little but still
There was a catch
How could I

How could I have
Missed you
When you were
Right in front of me

Yah the two young men
The young lady in the bus
My lecturer at college
My own sister
How could I

I am a melody that longs to be sang
I am a dream that longs to be discovered
I am a story that longs to be told
I am a star that longs to shine
Please don't fence me in

I am a picture that longs to be painted
I am a recipe that longs to be cooked
I am new, i am unique
I have never been
And i long to be
I am someone special
Please don't fence me in

Each time you call me lazy
Each time you call me stupid
Each time you call me useless
You lay the the next brick
That houses in the real me
Please don't fence me in

I am the voice of an orphan
I am the voice of the fatherless
I am the voice of a grown woman
I am the voice of a mature man
I am the voice of the rich and poor
I am the voice of everyone who feels
Misunderstood, undermined
Or mistreated
Please don't fence me in

The first time i saw you
I could not help but notice you
I tried so hard to keep my cool
But my heart got the better part of me
Mouth dry, hands sweaty
Heart thumping so hard
I had to hold it inside my chest
Before it pounded right out
I felt like i was in standard three again
When my teacher asked me
To read my essay in front
Of my class
Boy was I nervous!
Lady you are beautiful

I opened my mouth
To say Hi to you
All I could maage was a squeaky "Ey"
You smiled at me
Curly lips, perfect smile
**** eyes
I swallowed hard
My eyes glued on you
Afraid to blink
In case it was just a day dream
Lady you are beautiful

That day i believed it that God
Had allowed some of His
Angels to come stay with us mortals
After you passed i pinched myself
Took a peep you were still there
Face radiant, figure well sculpted
I felt a trickle of sweat go down my neck
Smiled uncontrollably
Lady you are beautiful

Days passed
No change
It had to be done
Getting to know you
Has opened my eyes to a new revelation
Your outer beauty is nothing compared
To  your inner one
Lady you sure are beautiful

My mouth is shut but my heart
Is screaming i am almost
Losing my strength
From all the shouting and wailing
The cry of my heart is
Do you see me?
