In the dark

I seem to stand alone
in this dark place
away from civilization
where my life is only waste

there is no where to turn
and no where to go
trapped in this box
where my feelings i can't show

afraid to step into the light
just one step could make things wrong
i would rather stay here
there is no life that i long

trapped with me are my secrets
hidden in the dark
to afraid to reveal myself
knowing if i do the pain will start

i only know who i am
i only know who i want to be
no matter what people think
i am not what you see

with me i carry
my past, my mistakes
where ever i go
i tend to leave a trace

behind the walls
there is something more
then the eyes can see
deep down a heart has tore

i want to step out of the dark
and reach for the light
to conquer my fears
and start to live my own life

to test out my wings
despite the growing pain
and fly into this world
away from the flames

now on my own
i can live my life
without ever regretting
stepping into the light.
