beautiful imperfection

I tell myself not to hide,

but then you come along
...

See these tears
watch them fall,
they're all because
of this stupid wall,
...

I remember thinking,
What is this feeling inside of me,
I talked it out
With a friend or two,
...

Look me in the eyes,
that's where the real truth lies.
Look beyond this smile I wear,
do this, and show me you care.
...

I just sat there
trying to hold in
all my emotions
I didn't want to give in.
...

Why is there so much drama
in my life today?
It's preventing me
from putting my mask away.
...

It crept upon me slowly,

Of its presence I was unaware,
...

Why do I do these things I do?
Why am I so quick to hide
...

I can't get this off my mind and it's tearing me up,
I try to let go but it all comes crashing back again.
I try to deny how I feel towards you,
I try to ignore the pain,
...

You came into my life
and never walked away,
even when I moved
and we could no longer play.
...

'I love you'
these words I find hard to believe,
so many people used these words,
only to decieve.
...

If you really looked into my eyes,
you'd see all the pain and all the lies.
If you really looked into my eyes,
I swear to God you'd be so surprised.
...

Have you ever had this tingling in your wrists?
Where the only thing stopping you
...

Why can't life be perfect

Why can't life be fair?
...

A friendship lost, words left unspoken,
Pain held inside, two hearts broken.
The point of no return.
An agreement made, to speak no more,
...

You said You would not give me
more than I can bear,
so why does it seem
like You've forgotten to care?
...

You're hurting inside,
yet you won't let me in,
you say everything's fine,
and hold it all in.
...

We were introduced in no unusual way,
But I will never forget that first day.
He went to shake my hand
But saw that they were full,
...

Don't you remember
that nails in His hands?
The thorns on His brow?
The blood in the sand?
...

He said he was sorry
and he loved me too,
I was young and forgiving
and believed this to be true.
...
