If I met me now

What would I say?

Would I smile?

Would I blush?

Would I turn away?

 

I see my face,

See it next to mine.

Who are you?

Are you sure

That I end up fine?

 

I can't decide

If I feel inspired.

I can't decide.

If you just look tired.

 

One thing I know,

One day I'll be,

Walking 'round

Talking sound

And feel like me.

 

I want to know

What's it like to be

Unrestrained,

Feeling drained.

At least you're free

 

Would I know me now?

Would I recognize

Under wounds

And bruises?

Or would I criticize.

 

What I wouldn't give

To just go back.

To choose

Just to lose

My mind, to lose track.

 

I want to know me now,

Not know me yesterday.

I left that child

far

far

away.

Under a bed

in a closet

far

far

away.
