Missing!


Half of you is missing The world will try to say Half of you is missing Time to make you whole That other half of you out there Will complete your soul But they will never understand That even with half of me missing I will always be too much Just one half of me Will set some people off Just one half can make them scared Make them uncomfortable Or make them leave So what if I dont want That other half of me What if staying just one half Is how I will be free
