You tell me not to die
But what is there to hold on too
For everything I thought was real
was never really true
A lie..?
I can't say its been a lie but I know
Im not sure who I really am
All the years looking for the truth
in someone elses hands
Living life through the eyes of
others and never through my own
Doing as everyone wanted
All my life this is what I was shown
Need to break the chains and step out of
the skin that I hibernated in for far too long
The skin that tried to protect me and keep me
from doing wrong
But more harm than good this did as
Its been a faade I lived in,
a preprinted canvas that portrayed only the
beauty that was seen by the owner of the art
The cocoon that shielded me has only served
To make me bitter and resentful
This life I have lived was not meant to be
But now, Im out of the shell and walking in the dark
Breaking out of the cocoon going through
metamorphosis I'm still changing into what?
I haven't yet figured out what thats supposed be
In this process of searching and changing
I reach out for that hand that understands
But I feel Im just getting pulled back in to
that shell this would be a catastrophe
In this process I must go through or this
journey I must embark on, I will be called
selfish and many will be angry as their
backs will turn and their faces be hidden
But this is nothing new, every road before
this I have done nothing right in the
eyes of those who say they care, But
to say how I feel, this has always been forbidden
I have been cautioned to care for the feelings
and reputations of those around me
as I just fade into the background a shadow
an image of those who stand in front of me
But in my search I will be as selfish as I can get
For through all these years I have listened only
to the voice, that was not the voice in my head
I have lived in fear, with regret and animosity
toward those who tried to do me well
But its only been because in my life I was sheltered
And was raised in that shell
A rebellious person I will become to some
to me I have just decided to live my life
This change that comes now at this time
will unfortunately come with a hefty price
For years I have looked from the inside out
as if I was a prisoner desiring the freedom to live
as I choose
I sat and dreamed of breaking out into that world
of adulthood, that to me has been refused
I have heard many times the phrase how can you
Love someone when you dont love yourself
Well I am on my way to falling in Love with
me and this time, Thank you, but I will do it my
way and with no ones help.
