The Difference

I breathe, I see, I live

I feel, I love, I give

I burn inside my mind

Flames that hurt those who are kind

I face the truth inside

I see past fear, past faith, past life

For no one else is there

Just me to meet my stare

A crossroads lies up ahead

A future of difference in my head

To exorcise the demon in my soul

I face it alone and no one will ever know

But now when I face the reflection of me

I see the person I long to be
