My own world

0 posted 2006-05-17 10:23 PM

Strip me down, take it all off,
I have nothing more to give,
You’ve stripped me of all I have,
I’m down to the bone, striving to live.

Stretch me past my ever growing limit,
You’ve already learned how to win,
Just let me know what part of me is good for you,
And just please let me know when.

Don’t make me choose between you and him,
How much longer do you want me in pain?
The thoughts, the regrets, the loves I can’t forget,
Keep rushing through my head, driving me insane.

Rip me up, just tear me right down the middle,
I’m nothing more than mere paper to you,
Draw on me, mold me into what you want me to be,
And tell me exactly what you want me to do.

I’m nothing more than a torn person
Waiting for my strength to come back,
Waiting for the tears to be taped together
Ready to gain all the love that I’ve lacked.

You make it so hard to hate you,
You make it so easy to hate myself,
Take everything that’s good and let it shine
Sitting proudly on the shelf.

Then you hide everything that’s not,
Hide it in the closet for no one to see,
Make the world believe I was different,
Make me afraid to be me.

So tape me back together,
Tell me what not to do wrong.
And I’ll walk away from you with my mind full of scars,
And hope that one day I can walk away strong.

-Erin

let me know what you think!
