Me

The pages of my story keep turning Even though these words I've considered burning For the tale they tell is one of tragedy Pathetic and of "me" I do not see rainbows Or butterflies My vision has been blurred By all the tears I've cried In this game called life I'm forced to follow others' rules I've tried to fight it But either way I look like a fool Even my conscience Has taken on their voices Even in my mind They control my choices I live in fear I am not free I haven't been allowed To discover "me"

Rachel.... Congrats on your win. The first two verses are so beautiful, just love the way you express your words holding back all that fears in you.
