Life is Pandora's box
I want mine to be the final contents
I want mine to be the hope at the bottom of the box
I want something to look forward to
Now I don't want to be one of the walking dead
I've seen all the evils swarm around me
And they've finally left to do their haunting elsewhere
Like Pandora;
I was part curiosity, part need, part mere human nature
Now I will be strong
Part inquisitive, part confident
I will be known as kind
I will be strong enough to love
I will be someone's rock
I will be brave enough to do my own thing
I will be wise enough to know what that is
I will finally be enough
That feeling
That "I am on top of the world"
That "there is no place I'd rather be"
That "these people really love me"
That feeling
That will finally be mine again
I don't need perfection
In fact, I don't want it
But I don't need to be a smashed egg
Splattered on the floor for people to walk all over
All I want
Is to be slightly cracked
(Inspired by screenplay writer and novelist Erich Segal who once said "A good friend is someone who knows you are a good egg even though he knows you are slightly cracked.")
