Actions
Please give me the strength
To be myself
Not just unique
To open up
Let me speak
Allow me to be more than words on a page
Make me show myself through actions
I’m tired of playing games
I’m bored of staying silent
When there is so much I want to say
So many things
Hidden behind my depression
How sad
To have built a façade
Based around sadness
Covering up my smiles with a frown
I’m done now
I’m starting over new
I want to show my best to you
Sympathy isn’t a substitute for love
It never was
Now I see what I’ve done
Ways I could’ve turned out different
In away
I’m glad I didn’t
Those other persons are not me
Just doppelganger identities
I need to find my true voice
One I can use to speak
Speak to you
To speak to everyone I know
I can’t be afraid of my image
How can I be anyone but myself?
You would still accept me
So would friends
Only the true ones though
Ones who won’t leave
If I have a bad day
Or decide I want my hair to change
They would forget shallow things
Now, myself, covered in black
Will step into the light
Absorbing all the warmth I can
I hope you will not run away
I hope you’re not afraid
Of course it doesn’t really matter
I’m not alone
If one would leave
I’m never alone
No, not anymore
I feel the presence all around me
Bout mostly in the wind
How it wraps itself around me
I breathe it in
I hope I come to see the truth
And also to believe it
I can’t change the way things are
The dead don’t talk
The lost can’t be the ones to find me
And I can’t alter thoughts
But I’ll hold together
Remembering
I’ll make the call
Frightened
I won’t back down
Hopelessly
I can be defiant
And I will
No one tells me what to wear
Nor what to think
I’ve made up my mind
I’m tired of how I’ve fallen behind
Now that I can stand again
It’s time to catch up
It’s time to take action.
