In Time I Will Find

My life is sometimes an obstacle

waiting for me to overcome.

All I need is to believe in myself

and then it can be done.

 

Its hard sometimes because of the past

but Im beginning to learn to let go.

Its hard to heal what has been broke 

but when it happens, I'll begin to grow.

 

I want whats best for me and my life.

I dont want to take the fall.

I want to love with whats left of my heart

but I must first break down that wall.

 

I built a wall inside of me 

to keep my feelings safe again.

But heres the truth, since Ive had that wall

Ive let noone in but friends.

 

Its kept me from loving myself I believe.

I use to be so full of life.

But because of the hurt that I live with each day

my life just has not turned out right.

 

It is so up to me to break myself free

and let go of this pain.

I need to be loved. I need to be hugged.

Each and every day.

 

So one day at a time I will try to define

the man that I want to become.

I will focus my sight on doing whats right.

I will learn to love someone.

 

One day I will see what is meant for me.

Perpetual bliss of a kiss.

Certainly I will believe in myself.

And no longer will my heart miss.
