On this road I travel
I kick the gravel
Hands deep in my coats pockets
My eyes moist with tears, flooding their sockets
It was a sad day to walk
In the sky above soared a hawk
And his cries a soft melody
That slowly comforted me
I don't know what did me in
Maybe it was the constant push to win
Even the trees glared at me now
As their old trunks sunk in, began to bow
My heart softly would quake
As my shoulders would quietly shake
I had given up my name
And pretended this had been a game
Oh foolish me!
How I couldn't see
It was my own fault that I walk here today
It wasn't right, for losers to stay

Two years ago
My heart was broke
I was lost beneath tears
And dying beneath the smoke

But today you made me realize
That I can't always hide forever  
I have to come out of the dark
And mend these bonds that have been severed

I'm scared to open up
But I don't know anyone who isn't
And I'll take baby steps into the light
As these nagging thoughts are persistent

You keep telling me that I'm beautiful
But in the mirror I can never see
You keep telling that I'm amazing
But I feel grimy

You say my hair is most beautiful beneath star light
But I see my hair as coarse
You tell me that my eyes are a rare beauty
But I see nothing special

I lost confidence in myself two years ago
I lost the ability to see
I let the dark watch out for me far to long
And it's time I fully became me

Lying on this earth bed
The cold sky looking down
Thin air filing my head
No sound to be found

Broken smiles, broken hearts
Filing my thoughts
I was simply torn apart
And this was all for naught

My place of peace
Surronded by the quiet  
Surronded by trees
To clear my head for tomorrow's riot

The skies spinning around
But I the tears still fall
I stay planted on the ground
As the sadness calls

Tomorrow a smile will be back in place
But for now I can soar through space
