I wanted to be alone
I wanted to be free,
I wanted to run away
From every thing that was hurting me.
I thought I’d take a walk
I thought it’d clear of my mind,
I didn’t want to talk
Just be alone with the night.
I never did imagine
I never could’ve guessed,
That the answer to all my problems
was right there in my face.
I saw a young girl
I saw her whole life,
I saw to my thrill
Her sorrow and strife.
She seemed a bit unconscious
Of what was going around,
And a gray tear strolled from her eyes
When someone was lowered to the ground.
I wanted to cry
I wanted to scream,
I saw how the pain
Went under her skin.
I saw how her life was
The same way I saw my self,
Our lives had no fairies,
God-mothers or elves.
I lived a life of solitude
She lived a life in vain,
But we both had
A strong on going pain.
I was desperate
For what I could find.
I was looking
for at least a sign.
I wanted to help her
I just didn’t know how,
I wanted her happiness
So I had to find out.
And as I came closer
I finally understood,
I was looking into a mirror...
I had never moved.
I saw to my surprise
That the young girl was me,
It was my inner self
Trying to break free.
