dont you tell me who to be
and how to be it.
dont you tell me what to do,
or what to say.
dont make my decisions for me.
i am my own person,
you are not part of me.
i am me.
you are you.
dont you ever tell me that you know what i want,
because you dont.
i am different,
you need to accept that.

because i am.

catch me, because i am falling.
hold me, because i am shaking.
comfort me, because i am crying.
include me, because i am not like you.
talk to me, because i am misunderstood.
speak softly, because i am scared.
tell me why, because i am confused.
give me shelter, because i am cold.
let me sleep, because i am tired.
accept me, because i am different now.
make me smile, because i am sad.
love me, because i am alone.

too many questions for one night.

why should i feel bad for wanting something more?
who says that its so wrong to just want to be happy
isnt the pain worth the risk sometimes?
isnt there something that says the ends justify the means?
doesnt your overall lifetime of happiness mean more than a little bit of hurt?
what have you ever got to lose?
why not give it a shot, whats the worst that can happen besides rejection?
life can be good if you just give it a shot.

oh, isnt it so easy to lie to yourself?

interpret as you wish

youre my candle in the dark
youre my one hope when life gets hard
you bring me back when i go too far
i dont need to look, i know where you are

you are the one standing next to me
the only one who sees what i see
you know where i come from and you know where ive been
youre the only one that i believe in.

you are the strength that i hold on to
you show me things that i never knew
when i am lost you know what to do
i can see your faith when i look at you.

thats all for now...i cant think of anything else.
