Inside my head

People see the girlish woman standing where I should be, with the long hair, and milk skin They see blue eyes, and a thin waist Take no haste in making it known They know me all to well But inside my head there's nothing they can tell Do they know why I'm lead on the paths I tread? Or that my eyes are only as blue as my soul? My hair is only long enough to cover my sorrows Skin only milk pale because I fear the light of tomorrow Waist only as thin as I feel within And they look at me, and laugh Say wait until you're in the real world What world am I living in? Nothing here is candy coated, and the emotions spill over My half empty cup of life Some say that know what goes in my mind I search to hard to find meaning That I lean to one side of the middle But never my own thoughts But they cannot read the lyrics to the song That plays on inside my head Common misconceptions keep them mislead I keep my own thoughts to myself Though sometimes I let them slip I stumbled, I trip on my search for meaning How can you say, I've never known love? You don't ask... you don't try You see the lack of age lines on my face And replace any respect for me with "silly child" Like glances... And what do I know of romance? I know to give love a chance And you say I'm fool hearted and quick I love so hard, and I cry many tears You think it's not real, and I haven't had the chance to feel Well inside my head, is a person you don't know And you can't see. Just as well, that person is free Free to love the one she wants Free to dress the way she feels Even if it's naked inside the soul Inside my mind, I torn, I'm reborn I'm inside out and I'm wholeSome more random ramblings. I always feel better when I write. So here it is. tried, true, and raw. Written March 5th, 2002 © on Mar 04 2002 04:51 PM PST, Sharon   18 • 0 • 10
