CHANGE

March 30, 2014

Am I so different?

Am I so wrong for you?

Do I need to change?

Do I rip away my heart?

Should I put on a mask?

Should I play hide and go seek?

What do I do?

What do I say to change your mind?

Am I worthless?

Am I not pretty enough?

Do you need more?

Do you need proof?

Should I become someone I'm not?

Should I stay in the hollow darkness?

What do I do?

What do I say to change your mind?

 

With the river running over me

I am just rolling through the current

Debris rushes by me

I'm stilled.

 

Am I what you wanted?

Do I meet your needs?

Should I stay or go?

What am I supposed to do now?

 

I transformed for you

What am I left with?

Who am I now?
