Birds of Paradise
The thought of marriage scares me blind
It controls everything
Including your mind
I am a free spirit
A walking soul
But I have a hard time letting to
The thought of love just scares me now
It has bruised me so bad
I don't think I’ll ever go back
What are feelings?
Do I feel?
I can feel when life is unreal but that is all
I stand up, and I fall
Will I ever grow to be strong and tall?
Maybe one day, just now not
I am not the ordinary face in the crowd
I am 1 in a million and I want to Stand tall
I am tired of being tired!
Sick of being sick!
Sometimes I feel like life is just a trick
It's all about perspective; I know
But it's so hard to let go
I am stuck in the past, only trying to move forward
Onward I try to go, or will I try to jump out a window?
I don't know;
One side of my brain says yes, the other no
It's like there's two people inside my brain
And yes, I know that sounds insane
But I cannot decide about anything I ever want to do
You strewed my brain up just like chicken soup
Now all I have is my memories and time to move on
But it's been two years, and our story was still going on
I miss the song that my heart used to play
The soul that was not caged by these thoughts
Give me my wings back so I can fly
I understand why the caged bird cries;
