My Wall of Shame

I wonder what you think of me, I wonder what you see.
I know you don’t see my authentic self, I know you don’t see me.
Do you see this wall I built for you? 
I made it on my own.
It started with simple doubts and lies. 
Can you see how tall it’s grown?
I turn away from friends and loves, 
I deserve to be alone. 
Who wants this broken person? 
Whose holes need to be sown? 
I tried to paint these walls for you, 
I put your picture in a frame.
But doing so I lost myself,
I don’t even know my name.
I tried to decorate my past, 
So you really couldn’t see…
All the things I did to you.
All the things I did to me.
I ask for your forgiveness, changed I say I’ll be.
But can I really do this?
I’m fooling no one but me!
I say I’ll rise above this, I say I’ve changed my ways. 
I’m waiting for you to believe me,
I’m counting down the days.
Will you ever really look at me and really see my pain? 
I have nothing left to lose and a whole person left to gain.
They say that at the bottom, they’ll be a light from up above.
I hope it will embrace me, I hope I will feel love.
Will you ever learn to trust me?
My lies were great I know. 
I’ve done nothing but deceive you, 
I’ve never been so low.
I’m asking for a second chance, 
Well by now it’s three or four. 
I’m breaking down this wall I built; I’m tearing down this door.
I’m opening up my soul to you; I’m laying it on the line.
I’m asking you to look inside this HELL I would call mine.
I’m holding out my hand to you, this gamble I will take.
If you take this walk with me, this promise I will make…
I’ll be the friend you’re looking for, so true to you I’ll be. 
I know I have a lot to prove, Just please believe in me.
I’m looking in the mirror,
This face I think I know.
I think I met her once before,
Wherever did she go?
It’s good to see her smile again; her laugh is good to hear.
It’s good to know a friend like her, has always been this near.
I say I sought my soul today, but my soul I could not see.
So I sought my “higher power”
And that too eluded me.
But when I sought a friend like you,
Somehow I found all three.

Hide N Seek

Like a child playing hide and seek..
I prey upon you cause you are weak. 
I look for you with loving eyes...
Which one of you will believe my lies?
A smile that will melt your heart...
You hope that we will never part. 
I tell you what you need to hear...
And do those things to keep you near.
You think you found the one for you...
Unaware of what I've planned to do.
You give your heart and soul to me...
How truly dumb could one man be?
It's my turn to take the stage...
I'm a woman full of hurt and rage!
