Pause

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like no one around I would get peace, relaxation, and quietness Other times I want attention to swallow me Is it too much to ask for somewhere in the middle I never know what I might get The anticipation kills me before the battle even starts I might get bruised from a flick Or drown in my own blood You know I’m calling the shots Why can’t everyone just leave my life alone Worry about this, worry about that Sometimes I wish that the world would just stop Just stop long enough for me to catch my breath The world keeps spinning and I keep gasping for just a small touch of air The reality is I feel like the world is pushing me up While the people are pushing me down I am constantly torn between decision and doubt of it working I never know whether to stick with the crowd Or to follow my road that was made for me Sometimes I wish the world would stop So I could look around and see my true potential Most of the time I want the world to stop Because I don’t know what I am doing I don’t know because I am pulled one way But pulled back another I want to just feel myself and what I am here for To just see the world as a DVD player That stops, plays, or pauses I know that it doesn’t work that way but A girl can dream right? Ah but see don’t answer that because I choose myself Over you, the people, and the world Because I choose me!
