I have traveled
Many different faces
Seen inside souls
And justified my traces
I've held many views of sorrow
Had hope and joy for all of their tomorrow
I am weary now...
Can't wonder where this journey ends
But I learned early about making amends
Each of us know that part in us we cannot trust
I am a believer of honesty
And why real broken hearts don't last
I seek to unravel mysteries of life
And thank God...
For all of my strife
Without the power of this conflict
With hope and faith
Bought back my instinct
I don't want to judge
But they keep pulling my strings
I've changed so much
And I'm tired of hearing about the same things
Each dilemma can set you free
Slow steps to becoming a part of society
A hard reality to compromise
And the mask we wear must be justified
That don't mean you still can't be you
But if we face our past
We take on a different view
I died a long time ago
Came back to life
I had to know
What direction and why this path
Why I cried and why now I laugh
I'm so much stronger than I used to be
And I know now that nothing can hurt me
These words I write
I speak in truth
Deception and lies are just part of your youth
Go back now
Look in time
Cry your eyes out but don't be blind
A mistake from your past
Doesn't make you an outcast
Just makes you not trust
I am old now
But I take a bow
To the depression and hatred that grew
A lifestyle outworn
By love that was torn
And a dream
That can still pull me through
