" How dare you give them so much power"


Im staring at the cold pale mirror
Im tracing the gold metal lining
I know its my face
Looking back at me
But I don’t recognize
The face I see

Im walking down the concrete sidewalk
Im watching the cars fly past
I feel alone
Unsheltered
I don’t belong in this place

I want to run
Until I find
Somewhere I belong
I want to take off
Soar among the skies
Breath
Really breath for the first time

I walk into the recognizable
But im still standing alone
I know this is where I am
But it feels like
Im already left

Im looking at the place I call home
But it don’t feel like that anymore
Im so lost inside
Something I cant find
And I cant be saved

I want to run
Until I find
Somewhere I belong
I want to take off
Soar among the skies
Breath
Really breath for the first time

I want to wlak away from here
Never look back
Never to return

I wont forget you
I wont let you leave my mind

Maybe you are my home

I have run a thousands miles
Maybe ill find
That where I belong
Is here with you

We can soar among the skies
And I can really breath
Truly be free
For the first time

Hold me
For the first time

This is great, I love the emotion in it, you really brought that out. I especially love the ending!
