I Cannot Be What I Am Not
To express the way (I) feel...
my spirit when I am with you
I do not want to leave...
This passion so free with you...
I disperse this freely unto you...
this place inside of me...
this pain inside hurts...
this stubbornness that lays...
just beneath the surface...
My secrets from this fool reveals...
...to make a connection surreal...
...this truth I cannot escape...
...for nothing you will find here is fake...
I cannot be what I am not...
this truth instilled not easily forgot...
so I will slip away quietly
into this gentle starlit night...
with all my words...the inner courage
I can muster...all my feelings I cannot
hide...
who I really am...I cannot be your fake...
this night my heart aches...
my words swirl with deep emotion...
...my eyes they fill with heavy tears...
this truth more pain and agony than
I once feared...
this dream sequester...now seems
lost...for my heart and soul burdens
me with such cruel self cost...
this courage sanctioned...
on my knees this spirit hails...
my will my heart to give in
to give up...
My god for you within me
I will not fail...
My God please do not
believe me weak...
...this force that pulls me...
from within you I feel I speak...
...this courage you give me
I so rely...I believe in you...
my spirit my will will not deny...
