Enclosed Within Me
Dark as night
Need a light
to walk this road
can't see what's behind me
can't feel what's in front of me
lost amiss a lonely dream
don't know which direction is right
sit and ponder away what ifs in my life
looking for support in a sea of numbers
wanting to be seen as an individual
needing my voice to be heard
but fearing what others may say
my words flow like a river smooth at first but rocky at the end
finish a sentence with a beautiful art stroke but refuse to believe it is a masterpiece
longing to believe in my true gift
my passion for people
with a name a stronger dialogue
but again fear is the obstacle
stand up and speak take your flow on the road is what few say
but it's hard to believe the few when i can't see past me
Gifted i may be but wrapped up forever it seems i will be
don't need my shell broken
don't want my vulnerablity seen
torn between a means for a life or the thought of a dream
confusing to me makes perfect sense to them
I wish i knew what was in store a glimpse into my future just to see what they speak could be true
all i got now is the moonlight cascading across a pond of mystery that i can barely see or wish not to believe is there.
