Shedding Skin

I thought this was love.
Going to sleep with you and waking up in the same arms.
Showering with you Getting dressed with you
Going to work with you coming home with you
Making love to you.
And that’s how I knew it was fake for the simple fact that it had to be made.
Man we’ve been together since birth
And yet there is nothing else on this earth I want to part with more.
It’s like a jacket that has become too small
Sucking the air out of me because I can’t breath
I know for sure that I don’t hate you but I sure don’t love you
And the sad fact of it all is that you are me.
Snakes shed skin when they find that they have out grown it
So tonight I will do the same.
Peal of the child so I can reveal the man
Flaunting my growth as if it were a first place metal.
And you whisper in my ear
Can you feel it?
What?
The dawning of a new day
And I can
That’s why I’m shedding my old to boldly reveal my new.

Say Goodbye

I’ve never been one to be quite honest
About how I feel
But now im not holding back
I’m just gonna be real
Cuz I don’t want to hurt anymore
I don’t want to hide anymore
I just want to be free
So starting now im letting go
Of all that’s been holding me
I say, I say goodbye
I say, I say goodbye
To all the fear that’s come my way
To self-doubt and mistakes of yesterday
I say goodbye
Letting go aint easy
And saying goodbye aint no better
But I know its time for me to be
To be braver
Cuz I have somewhere to go
I have a place to be
And I know what ive got to do
And to anyone who says I cant make it
Well I say goodbye to you too
I say, I say goodbye
I say, I say goodbye
To all the fear that’s come my way
To self-doubt and mistakes of yesterday
I say goodbye
Goodbye goodbye
I’m not looking back no more
So long so long
I’m finally on my way home
I don’t have it all together
But this is where ill start
I'll say goodbye to yesterday
And all the times I feel apart
And ill set out on this journey
To where im meant to be
Saying goodbye to any and everything
That didn’t believe in me
And this time will be different
I'll let Him take the lead
I have to forgive myself in order to proceed
And this time ill love myself better
I say, I say goodbye
I say, I say goodbye
To all the fear that’s come my way
To self-doubt and mistakes of yesterday
I say goodbye

Amy you should have waited
Why were you in such a rush?
If only you knew how much you’re loved
If only that was enough
You couldn’t wait another minute
Is that why you ran away?
In search of the things of tomorrow
That you thought you didn’t have today
Oh Amy
You should have waited
Amy please just slow down
Hear me out for one minute
Everything you want is almost here
I promise the wait will be worth it
Tell me what you’re running from
Or what you’re running to
Why can’t you see all you need
Is already inside of you
Oh Amy
You should have wait
Amy you should have waited
Just stop and you’ll see everything’s fine
Now Amy I hope you can make it
I hope you can make it back in time
Before it’s to late
Before you’ve gone to far
Oh Amy
I’m praying that you hear me
Amy you should have waited
Just stop and you’ll see everything’s fine
Now Amy I hope you can make it
I hope you can make it back in time

Waking Up

My dreams
That’s where I feel safe
That’s where I hide from the world
My heart
I made it my shelter
I put up the walls so nothing could enter
But ive stayed to long here
To afraid to face my fear
That ive come to find
Was my own creation
So im waking up
I’m going home
Wake me up
This dreams lasted to long
His pain
That’s what he clings to
It’s the only thing he knows
But his heart
It wants to feel again
Take him back to the place when it was open
He's singing
I’m waking up
I’m going home
Wake me up
This dreams lasted to long
Wake me up
Take me home
Wake me up
Wake me up
A new day is dawning
I see it coming
A new day is dawning
I see it coming
I’m waking up
I’m going home
Im waking up
I've been here to long
Wake me up
Take me home
Im waking up
Im going home

I & Me

“And isn’t it the fights we have with ourselves that are the worst, because in those moments I believe we begin to realize we aren’t completely happy with ourselves.” –Astrid Mychell
Two fists belonging to me raise up to blind me.
For years "I" has been overpowering "Me",
Leaving my road paved with regret.
See "I" believes that every emotion should be both seen and heard.
But isn’t it the better half of us that knows how to tame our feelings,
Knowing when they should be let out and held in?
"Me" though is so used to "I" overpowering that when "Me" gets the strength to stand,
"I’s" blow is like the blow of a strong and witty man.
Hard and unexpected.
But we must remember that it’s the hardest falls that teach us how to
Rise, fake left and stand tall on the right.
No change ever came easy and that’s what makes them all special.
In truth this is just a letter of self-encouragement saying that
"I" is only a piece of "Me",
And because of this I know that all that’s left is to shake off the "I" in Me
And focus on the Me that "I" was always destined to be.
Taking on each new day as if it were my last because
Joy comes with every morning.
