Faith

In my mind, a story is written

The black ink that writes itself stains the page

And in the end, I was set free, free from my cage

Yearning for my 'happily ever after'

But will my waiting be forever?

Wanting to follow the light, but not being able to

It's the pain I must live with, and waiting is all I can do

Will it be days? Months? Years? Until I find the daylight?

I'll be wandering around lost until you are in sight

I only yell when I'm hurting, and when I worry

Is it only me who isn't so happy?

I want to be everything you ask me to be

But then you would be blinded, so you could never see

My true self is inside, locked up and chained

Everything about me now is different, it's changed

The perfect student, the perfect daughter isn't real

I am only me, with the ability to hurt, the ability to feel

I want someone there to make me strong

And I can think of no one but you, who's been there all along

It won't matter if we were to be separated;

I know you will find me here again

The same place I have always been

All I ask is that you do not forget me and

Listen to my silent plea…

I will wait

Because that is the only thing I can do

Listen to my promise…

I have faith in you
