Take me as I am or set me free
Take me with all my scars or set me free
Take me with my imperfections or set me free
Take me with my insecurities or set me free
Take me with my madness or set me free
Take me with my wrath or set me free
Take me with my flaws or set me free
I know you can't so set me free

When society rejects you
Nature will open its wide arms
And let you in

Trust me when I say to you,
That you are closer to Love,
Than the fish are to the sea.
Closer than the clouds are to the sky.
Closer than the trees are to the Earth.

“How can this be”
I asked

Why don’t you look
inside and tell me ...

My
Childhood did not unfold
The way I wanted to
But come eighteen
I blossom
Like a lotus
In the mud.

"things don't have to change"
"things can't stay the same"
wonder what is going on
inside of your brain
got me feeling i'm insane
now that i asked for a break
you can leave at your whim
but i'm expected to wait
i'm supposed to stay
i'm to willingly stand by
while you make your mistakes
while you work through your pain

She can walk
          between
             night and day
               never letting either
                  get in her way.
She learned this trick
                     many moons ago
                                by
                     going deep within
           and never letting it show.
Her soul is innocent
her heart is pure
she’s gone through more
than most could endure.
            She’s an angel of light
                 an angel of dark
                 you never know
              what you will spark.
                      You want to hurt her?
                         Please, go ahead and try
                           she’ll be the one to show you
                                  just how well she can
                                                              f
­                                                                l­
                                                                ­  y.
                                  Her soul innocent
                    her heart pure
      but never think for one minute
that she’s not secure.
                                Say what you will
                          please, do what you must
                       but your jealousy and hatred
                             won’t waver her trust!

you didn't hear me
when i told you
to be fair

you didn't hear me
when i told you
i was scared

you didn't hear me
when i told you
you don't own me

but you heard me
when i told you
not to care.
