Self Awareness

You will never understand
how much I care for you.....

You will never understand
all the things I go through.....

You will never understand
why I do the things I do.....

You will never understand
that from your side I won't move.....

Yet I listen to you hurt me
Saying nothing, fall to my knees.....

Your voice inside my head,
fills my heart with dread.....

I am full from all your lies
and with each one we slowly die.....

We are one and we are the same
We are perfect no need to blame....

When they hurt you
they hurt me too.....

Please, why is it that can you not see
that I am not your enemy.....

Listen, hear my plea and hear my cry
Look at me with a tear in my eye.....

I am you and you are me
I want us to live happily.....

Look, what do you see in the mirror
the reflection couldn't be clearer.....

A beautiful girl with a small hidden smile
yellow green eyes and blond hair that goes for miles.....

You can love yourself
Say I love myself.....
