Unseen

Every morning I look at my reflection and question who is staring back at me

Do I choose to be bitter, spiteful, and quick to make enemies?

All my words are daggers, my tongue is poisonous

Always quick to judge and slow with forgiveness

I keep burning bridges before I finish crossing

Spiral through the free-fall and pray for solid ground

Spiral through the free-fall, I can’t find solid ground

Reaching towards the heavens, looking for a hand

A hand I’ve never seen in this darkness

Who can pull me from this darkness?

Stop the tide from drowning me, in a sea of my regret

When all hope is fleeting, the waves carry me to shore so I can start again

Fix my eyes on a new horizon, free myself from the burden of my past

And pretend who I was yesterday is gone

Each time that I claim that I’ve been reborn

The voice inside tells me that I can never change

All my words will always turn to daggers pinning me to the wall

Now I’d die just to feel

Every emotion I showed has been a clever forgery

Every memory held regret and I was dying just to feel something real

Besides the shame of feeling every choice I made hurt you

If it meant I could feel alive, I would show the world the truth

And let them take me as I am or cast me aside

At least I’d feel alive

Feel alive, or cast me aside, cast me aside
