Angel
I used to be afraid
Afraid of everything that came in my path
I ran away from it all
All the good and all the bad
I was afraid of myself
And who i was becoming
I tried it all
All that could be tried
To stop me from being afraid
To be as strong as i could
To be who i was before
The "angel" who could do it all
I was afraid to have to explain myself to everyone
Who i was becoming
And how i wasnt that "angel" that could do it all
I was becoming the one
Who needed help and a shoulder to cry on
I tried it all
All that could be tried
To stop me from being afraid
To be as strong as i could
To be who i was before
The "Angel" who could do it all
I had trouble
But as i tried
It became easier and clearer to see
That i was still that "angel"
Just hidden behind Fear.
Soon I'll be me ?
