My Time Out

I'm taking this time out,
To love me for myself.
I can no longer wear the mask.
I can no longer be everyone else.

Yes,I want to me loved.
Even more I want to give love in return.
I desire to be a wife and mother,
But when the time comes it comes.

Yes, I given my heart away a time or two.
I'm not bitter, angry, or disappointed.
In the beginning I was mad at myself.
I felt I was dumb,
Chasing a vision that didn't want to be kept.

Now I'm taking this time out.
Just to figure out who I really am.
For so long I thought I was like this,
But when I got around them, I was like that.
I'm in the reflecting stage to be alone.
I'm not lonely, just by myself.
