Dreamer

On the surface I’m fixed and steady
but in my heart I’m just not ready.
How can you tell though? You’re just looking in.
How could you search me and see my sin?

Outside I’m focused and exact
but little do you know, it’s all an act.
You see, deep inside I’m a dreamer
It’s the only thing I want – to be her.

’cause that girl is big and strong
she can easily admit when she’s wrong.
She’s in love with all the world
and smiles every time destiny uncurls.

But that is her, so who am I?

A little insecure and very afraid
hiding beneath this mask my tears have stained.
Accompanied by pain and choked by blood
I won’t explain. I never could.

In the mirror, I see the dream
A girl that everyone else has seen.
But when I go to sleep at night
noone understands my fright.
