i want to wake up with things the way they were
why can't they be the same
why is there this fear
a constant uncertainty of life and who i am
too terrified to live
afraid i'll make the wrong choice again
my only thought is "this cannot be happening"
i want to go back to the way it was
when i could dream
there was a time when i could be anything i wanted to be
my mind went to places you've never seen
there was a time when i didn't want to hurt you
but i've grown into someone i said i'd never be
can that be true
my heart won't stop racing
my mind can't stand still
i'll wait until i wake up
then the pain will leave
this isn't real, its just a dream
the way i am now
its not happening

Keep smiling things get better

Wow.. a very emotional piece and straight to the point.

Very heavy emotions you're portraying.  It sounds like you're going through a trying time... *hugs*

Very well done.  I enjoyed this, as always, prov
