Control is what I want
what I need
Feeling it slip
beyond my reality
Lived all my years
giving away what I need
Now I look at my self
seeing what I despise
Always envying
never wanted
Promise myself to be in control
to be the one lusted after
On this day
I will be me
No more hiding behind a smile
letting go to be free
Good girl goes out the window
what comes in I don't know?
Next time you look at me
I'll break your heart
[And be the pretty one too]
Author notes
Just a reminder for me to look back to when I am about to give up...
"Sometimes you have to take the leap and build your wings on the way down."
But how do take the risk to be the first one to leap...
