Shedding of the skin
Leaves you raw for a while
But you leap and you crawl
To go that extra mile
And all the tears that fall
The ones that sting and burn
They leave you stronger in the end
And all the dreams you have
Either bloom or fail
And new ones come to heart
To give-up or excel
When reaching for the stars
Your fingertips may burn
But in the trip to space
There are many things you'll learn
The past two years have fed me
Many knicks to the heart
So much bullshit has tried to rip me apart
But I have lately noticed, my tears don't fall in masses
And I feel even stronger, with every day that passes
This doesn't make me better
Maybe just more well-aware
That life is not a dream
And far from being fair
At least my smile is not broken
At least I can carry on
At least songs can still move me
And my feelings are not gone
At least I have the few that love me
With scars inside and out
At least I still love the sun setting
And understand what fear's about
At least I still long for my dreams
And hold onto my laughter
At least I don't give up
When I feel all is bound to shatter
At least I'm still here
Trying every fucking day
To see the good in some things
And knowing there's a way.
Even if I look silly
At least I can still dance
And if everything falls inward
At least I had this chance.
