The Line in the Sand

by The Flame Within   Apr 19, 2005


I draw a line in the sand
on one side is who i am, and on the other is who i want to be
why cant i cross this line
why cant i just let myself be free

i can never show my emotions to the people i know
they must stay trapped in my mind and hide
somehow they hide in me, but I'm not sure where they go
and I'm scared when they come out to release themselves

this line is pushing and pushing toward the edge
as i fight to cross the line and be who i wish i be
but i must be who i am, even though that person hurts
why cant i just let myself be free

    Awesome! you should never be afraid to tell people who you are. keeping yourself inside doesn't help you. remember that nick!
    i loved it, and i also can't wait for the next one.
