Mistakes


The friend I love has made a mistake

The demon inside manifests

Despite her will and her protests

The voice inside has made her break

She has let it overtake

No emotion can she express

But I know she is capable of success

If she fights for her life and lets go of her heartache

 

I have faith in her heart

That she will be strong enough to let go

To walk away from what tears her apart

And turn her back to that lonely shadow

The hardest step is the one that starts

Your journey on to tomorrow
