Whose Life?

What does it take
to get some room to breathe
a little bit of freedom
to spend some time as me

Why do I spend my life
suppressing my own dreams
pleasing other people
not who I want to be

Who am I becoming?
Do I know me anymore?
That person in the mirror
isn't who I was before

Disappearing from me
is the life I used to know
The part I fear the most
is how far it will go

The person in my past
is fading into black
I can no more remember
Thoughts will not come back

I cannot change that past
but change can happen now
Let fears and limits go
Your heart shows the way
