All This Time

all this time locked up inside,
is my inner me trying to get out,
all the years that i have tried,
i even tried to kick,punch an shout...

all this time locked up inside,
were feelings of guilt an shame,
all i ever wanted was pride,
but i dont know who to blame...

all this time locked up inside,
i have so many secrets to bare,
so many that i can no longer hide,
for me to share my secrets is very rare...

all this time locked up inside,
is the wanting of his love an affection,
an for me to be able to confide,
to look at him i see my own reflection...

i am a piece of him an this much is true,
im longing for the day for me to hold him so tight,
and then i will never again feel so blue,
now all these feelings inside never felt so right...
