Me 2
ME 2
MY LIFE HAS BEEN LIVED APART
FROM THE START, I FOLLOWED MY HEART
THEN IT BEGAN HURTING TO MUCH
I WAS LONGING FOR A GENTLE TOUCH
FOR ANOTHER TO SEE
THROUGH, TO THE INNER ME
THE OUTSIDE OF MYSELF IS A REFLECTION
OF WHAT I'VE LEARNED, FROM ANOTHER
THINGS HAVE A WAY OF AFFECTING
NOW I HAVE MANY HABITS FOR PROTECTING
MY HEART FROM CRUELTY
MISDIRECTING
THEIR VENOM, FROM ME
MISCONCEPTION?
NOW I AM SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND
UPRIGHT, SORTING THROUGH INSIGHT
AND RISING AGAIN, TO STAND
AND LOVE, AMIDST THE CHAOS
NOW IN THE LIGHT, AFTER THE NIGHT
I'M CAUSING LOVE, AND CASTING LIGHT
I'M NOT ALLRIGHT
BUT I WANT TO BE MORE
I AM TRYING TO BE
MORE TRULY
ME
