look at me
tell me what you see
look at me
who am i
look at me
tell me what you see
you see me
if you look at me
you see what i really am
i stand
i stumble
on every second step
i get up again
you say i am strong
you say i don't give up'
you say i have the courage to stand
but...
i disagree...
i may stand
not because i feel like i haveto
i may get up again
not because i have the courage to do it
i'm afraid..
i get up again
because i'm scared of being down too long
i stand
because i'm scared of losing
i am wounded
i am bleeding
beaten to death
i still stand
not because i'm strong
it's because i'm weak
too scared to give up
beaten, bleeding
broken, bleeding
wounded, bleeding
i've been hit to ground
i didn't dodge
even if i could have
i will not dodge
never...
i will stand
i will wait to get hit
i will get up again
just to get hit down again
no.. i'm not strong
just scared
of giving up...

i like this. people always think im strong and not scared of anything but if they would just actually look, like really look, at me they'd see a person who's just running scared. I dont get up because im strong i get b/c staying down is more dangerous, when im up i can roll with the blows and run. . .Im not funny,perfect, or trying to tease you im protecting myself, to be open is be...vulnerable. im scared to let down my wall, im scared to drown in those dark unknown waters. I cry myself to sleep when something gets through my wall, sneeks up me, and presents me with...life? love? When someones see's me behind mu wall i bluff and smile, when the turn their back for a second i run as fast as I possibly can. to be open is to be vulnerable, that scares me.


Sorry bout that ^, fingers kept just kept moving :)
