The Power I Can Posses
If you can’t breath the air
and if you can’t see the sun
or hear birds chirping in the sky
if you can’t understand about how quickly time goes by
and if you miss a moment
and if you miss a possibility
you have to realize you can’t go back
you can’t undo it
you just have to move on
and you can cry
or laugh and smile through a mask
but in the end no one will remember a tiny slip
or a mismatched outfit
or how red your faced turned
or how many times you said the wrong thing
well, they might
but who cares?
these highschool girls and highschool boys
We all try to fit in
to not be noticed or called out
just want to move on
just want to move on
to move on
but then to let go
to let go of the past
and I’m stuck
stuck with you
stuck with what I’ve done
and who I’ve become
but I have to remember it’s not who I’ll stay
I’ll always be changing
rearangeing
metamorphosis
someday I will arise, re-arise
from a web of lies
a butterfly
who flies, flies away
and every beat of my wings will affect the world
I don’t need you to believe in me because I can believe in myself
but it helps
it helps to know I’m not alone
so come up and stand here next to me
and hold my hand
Don’t feed me lies but help me be stronger
I will choose my own path
I will breath my own breaths
drag in the air and stare into the sun
For I am unique and I will always be me
though I will and do doubt myself
I will pull through
And I will stare into the sun
because though I may grow old and blind
I will never lose truly loose my sight
