Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die tomorrow.


I haven't been myself
For quite some time
I've turned in to someone
Who wasn't too kind
Lost my opinions
Lost my heart
All those times it was torn apart


Sometimes my past
Seems to clear
I've been moving forward
But this will take years
I don't understand
Why I hold on
To the past of lies
It's been too long


I'm different now
I don't know if it's right
Somehow
I feel out of place
I've lost the light


I know there's a way
To be myself
I'll have to rebuild everything I am
Everything I was


I can't remember who I was
I don't know who I'm meant to be
My soul is drifting away
I feel like I've lost everything


It seems like time is moving
Way to fast
Before you know it
Graduation will be here at last
But I have so little time
To find
What's mine


Two short years
Will feel like a day
Once school here is done
I'll be on my way


A new life
A new start
Isn't that what I need?
No.
I need to find me


Do I have what it takes
To stand up and say
"I can't do what you want me to"?
I'm not perfect
I can't be flawless
But I can be
Me


Once I find her
Lost in nowhere
I will be her
Like I always should have been
I will be me
And I won't lose myself again

The author's comments:
Covers by Ebony Day that I was listening to over and over again just pushed me to write a little more. I wrote how I was feeling. Also the book Crank made me feel inspired to write again. I thought I lost my touch, but I found it again. Now I just have to find me.
