I took for granted everything,
colors of every hue.
I didn’t know those colors
filled my world because of you.
 
So, like the fool I am
I let you go, too blind to see
that on my own I am just alone
and things turned out to be
 
where colors slowly slipped away,
the yellows, greens and blues.
And now the only color left…
is the memory of you.

Do not rewrite the past.
No hand can erase
what time has carved
in wounded skin.

Let your oldest notebook
inscribe the first line
of a new tale —
written in fresh tears
and the sweat
of becoming
a future still unfolding.

I sit and I wonder,
Does love exist?
I ask myself, can I not be loved?
I sit and wonder why no one cares.
Why do I feel alone?
Why is no one ever there?
I sit and wonder what is beyond the horizon,
I sit and wonder if I can go beyond these walls
I sit and wonder if I can be happy
I sit and wonder who I am,
I sit and wonder if I am the girl in the mirror,
I wonder what happened to who I used to be,
I wonder who I am now,
I wonder if I deserve happiness
I sit and wonder if I can be happy,
Must I be alone,
I sit and wonder what it feels like to be free,  
I wonder where a young bird goes when it realizes it can fly
I sit and wonder ‘what is freedom?’.

I'm running
Trying to catch peace that never arrives
Hiding between shadows
So I don't have to remember

I'm running
Erasing footsteps in exhaustion
Convincing myself
That distance will make the pain smaller
But the farther I go
The more real it becomes

No one is chasing
Except the truth keeps waiting
That it wasn't you I left behind
It was me.

Then I stop
Let the heart hurt
Let the pain speak
I won't run anymore
