find me here
in the twilight of this last year
looking inward, all i see is pain
where peace used to remain
furtive introspection
hiding in my own reflection
can't seem to break free of this self-deprecation
and loose the chains of my self-evaluation
softly, sweetly i feel you answer
telling me in your candor
i am not the things that i describe
there's so much more to me inside
caught in the shadow of my insecurities
drowning in the deep end of my own self-doubt
you reach down and pull me out
telling me that in spite of all my infidelities
you are still there reminding me
i am exactly who you want me to be
candid introspection
shedding light on my reflection
finally peace remains
where all there used to be was pain
help me this new year
to shed all my fears
help me draw new lines where they need to be
and erase old ones that hide too much of me
help me to be weak
so that you in me are strong
and if you would have me speak
give me the words
so i don't say the ones that are wrong
trading in the shadows for sunlight
the deep end for the shore
i feel you here with me tonight
i am not drowning anymore
you're still there telling me
i am exactly who you want me to be
