What is it like to be me?
when you see the beauty in simple things
when you daydream your life away
when things like swings, rain and snowflakes seem to be
an escape from reality
when you seek privacy because its better than a crowd
it makes your heart race
what is it like to be me?
when you feel like a mistake
when everything you want is possible
but YOU hold you back
when you cry at night because your not PERFECT
when you try so hard and it falls apart at your feet
it makes your heart race
what is it like to be me?
when your future is never clear
when your the poor kid in school
when you want to escape but are pulled back
because of others needs
when your life is determined on which parent
wins a fight
when you take the hit even though you could win
because you dont want to hurt your sister
when you want a kid, even though your still a kid
because its not possible for you
when your heart implodes from the force of feeling
it makes the empty space throb
what is it like to live?
when your heart abandoned you
when music and writing are the blood in your veins
when your friends are your lifeline
when hope one lost is found again
when happiness is no longer a false front
when dreams seem possible
when family gets along and war is in the past
it makes you want to try again
to reach for a better day
the light at the end of the tunnel
