Ghost To Your Love

As I stand an empty shell of a person... 
I see the path I couldve had 
The joys and moments of sad 
The fantasies you believe reality
And I've come to realize....
Pride is a hard pill to swallow. 
 
I built an image. That You've knocked Down in seconds.
 You made me feel two feet tall when I thought I could touch the sky.
 I stood with a sense of accomplishment, and you showed me that I haven't even touched my goals.
I died a Lil inside. 

My innocence to a world you exposed me to is not what you want. 
I can not be silent as you assume my life.
 As you think you know how I've lived.
But I bite my tongue... And everything I've ever built... The strong independent women that once stood is no 
longer there.

So as I stand empty, hollow, and a totally new person.. 
I just stay silent and hidden in the crowd.
 Ask me who I am & I would know how to answer.
 Who do you want me to be? 
Cause I no longer exist.
