As I Am

Everybody’s got a secret worth some time
It takes everything to cover it up and hide
The one thing that could set you free and fly
Is it really worth the effort to blindly justify
How it’s affected this thing you call life
The troubles not worth it if you’d compromise
Lie awake from the thought of your lie
And whisper selfish thoughts that don’t apply

What is this that’s passing by right in front of me
Is it a crime to run from the pain of complexity
Existence in this world is more like a dance
People walk by too fast to see me as I am

When I’m gone, people say that they miss me
When I’m around, they seem to act differently
Is it my mind or is it how I view what’s defined
Is it my time or will I forever be this blind
How can so many questions need answers
They spread through my mind like cancers
Another part of me sticks out to specify
Another inconsistency I must rectify

What is this that’s passing by right in front of me
Is it a crime to run from the shame of my complexity
Existence in this world is more like a dance
People walk by too fast to see me as I am

Yes and No seem so unreal
How can they communicate what we feel
Is it possible to smile after you heal
Let me know and I won’t conceal

Who it is that’s passing by right in front of you
I Can’t tell you everything, but neither will you
Existence in this world is more like a dance
Don’t walk by too fast and you’ll see me for who I am
