Not for shallow fame,
but love
from those you touch.
"Give and you shall receive."

It's you the one I see across the room.
It's you the one I wanna I want to be with.
It's you the one I want to be in a dark room.
It's you the one I want to cuddle with.
It's all you!
When you try to be something you’re not
You get lost in the afterthought
Of who you’re trying to please

I wasn't lesser
no
that was never how you said it
there was just nothing more to me
then what met the eye

You singed bridges
cut ties
left me alone with nowhere to run
when I left myself bare to you
naked
wholly exposed
and you took my brokenness
and threw it at my feet

Yet,
I blame myself for your absence
"If I had just..."
I whisper
"Than we wouldn't be right here."
"We would be happy."
But happy, is not a word I understand
and sometimes
I think I never will.

It's a world nobody knows about
Only you
You're living in that world
It's terrible there
The only thing you can think about,
Is your secret
To make it better
You have to tell your secret
Every person you tell will live there too
More people more fun
If everyone knows
That world will be a nice place
Be honest

i used to get mad,
and cry,
about the little things in life.

but now,
I sit,
thinking how
satisfied
i feel,

it's real,
if even a worn out soul like me,
can find peace and unity,
a bright light in this hole,
then you know,
it's real.

song lyrics, but i've decided...it can be a poem too.
