Be You

pull off the sheets, throw an old tshrit on , slam the front door , time for a new day .smile for the camera , doesn't matter if its fake . or if your life is a mistake .walk down the street , fall flat on your face .pick your self back up . time for a retry.watch as they walk by ,you act all shy .talk in your head , dont let them hear what you said .close you eyes , make a wish , just the feel of those lips .hold your own hand , as you walk through the sand . alone. no sounds , just peace .i wish it would last , but its all your just in my head . i allow all the words that you said , to dance all around my body like music , why do they hurt .your words are not needles yet send pain through my skin .reach for your hand , when you are no where near .sit on the edge of the rock , watch the tide pull back .what do i lack ?stand tall , the wind will blow . stand your ground be very proud.the sky will stay blue ,the clouds will alway move .but you , will you always be you ?
