What's In Me

The sky lets go of the rain

The way my eyes let go of the pain.

Standing alone, I can`t handle it.

I`m like a tree out of its element.

Shake my branches, rustle my leaves.

I need a way to appease.

Break through the clouds and bring forth the sun.

My life is ending; Or has it just begun?

Be born again with new life,

Instead of severing my heart with a serated knife.

Words can hurt as bad as actions.

I need more than to count what I am lacking.

In my head I must stand strong and proud.

But my heart`s buried beneath the ground.

Why must I run? Why must I hide?

I`m too scared to say I tried.

Maybe I`m just trying to find me.

Lost in a sea of emptiness, not knowing who to be.

Being pulled in a million directions.

Never going in the right direction.

Always being told, "You`ll never be,"

By the ones too blind to see.

I have so much to give and nothing to take.

Why is everything I do seem to be a mistake?

I am so much more than a tree out of its element,

And I shall break free from this torment.

Look into my eyes and you will see,

I will stand tall and be the woman in me.
