A Table For 1one1

by Liz Armstrong   Jul 12, 2007


Can you hear me?
Can you hear me at all?
I'm sorry I'm so quiet
I just can't stand tall

Everything inside
Just stays in place
Goes no where
Hold it tight, it'll drift to space

I've got a one way ticket
And don't like the destination
You will never understand
My true hesitation

I have a guard up
As impermeable as stone
As solid as marble
The true inside is never shown

I have to keep it that way
For I have the deepest fear
I just can't face it
Or shed one more tear

Did you hear me that time?
For me, that was really bold
I was vulnerable for a moment
I showed the feelings I hold

I don't want to be weak
That's just not me
I'm my own mountain
The way I am, is weaker than you'll ever be

On my own
Is the only way to go
A table for one
Is pretty lonely though.
