Only Me - Part 1

I'm not pulling an act, No, I'm just pushing myself to the stage, Where the lights are on me, Where my flaws shows clear and not my face, My mistakes are surrounding me, I'm not changing now, I've been pulled along with change, I've been pulled along with the world's chaos, I've been falling, but now, I could feel the ground, Solid and strong, I'm not sure If I could step up with my feet again, But I got the hope, I got the right shoes on, I will stand up, I will go on, I will move, because laying here is pain, I can bear no more, I will be walking on my own this time, I've got no one to put my arms around, or no one to hold hands with, They are all gone, don't you remember, They showed the best part in them, The ephemeral, the one you would be loving so much, This time, I will be heading my way, I don't need someone, No, please I can't be pushed to the sides anymore, I've learned the hard way, It's better to have no one and nothing to lose.
