Possessed (pt. 1)



You.
You think I don't know you,
But you are as wrong as hell.
You, I know all too well.
This is true you can tell.
I don't need to speak the obvious,
The hidden person beneath the mask is you.
This is you. This is me.  We are one and the same.
It has never been a game.
Until one of us wanted change and it came.
This is where I took you by surprise,
For I can play, can you?
Don't think you can stand against me long,
This is how it's been all along.
You alone, cannot sing this song.
But then again, who will stand by your side?
They say they are there for you.

If they knew the truth, they would run.
This is why those you love, you shun.
And silently sing this song well sung.
I am you. You are me. We stay together.

I am just a girl living in St. Paul, Minnesota who loves to write. I think too much and I dream big. I welcome adventure with open arms and my imagination kidnaps reality. I love experiencing new things and daring to learn. Music is the rhythm of my heartbeat and lyrics are the language of my soul. I love the musty smell of old books and anything vintage-inspired. I am bohemian at heart and art is the treasure of my life's voyage. I love to feel the kisses of the winds of nature, and dwelling in the secret place of peace with my Creator. Love is my destiny and passing it on to whomever I cross paths with.
