For

For if I cannot go far 
Then let me count my ways

For if I live my life for me 
Then let me see it through others eyes

For if I’m bound by all this For if I make a mistake 
Let it be my burden to live with

For If I conflict with my choices 
Let it be from within

For if I know my wrong doings 
Let me live with them

For if I see my true colors 
Let it be for others to judge the real me

For if I can’t see my life  
Then it was meant to be

For if I can never feel
Let me try

For if I can never rest 
Then give me strength


Let me be set free then

For if not  
I am powerless to ones self-inner demons
