My heart tells me "run"
My head tells me "stay"
Emotions - confusion
Should I run away?

I face all my demons
As best as I can
Should I be alone
Or be with this man?

I bore easily
With things so mundane
As trite conversation
About weather and rain

Do I ask too much?
To be loved and be free?
Or do I resent
It's not "me" that you see?

The elephant's here
Right here in the room
But we don't discuss it
This house, now a tomb

We say the right words
We act out our part
Does it really matter
If it's not from the heart?

Yes, hell it does!
A phony I'm not!
I can't play this part
And live out this plot!

There's really a person
In front of his eyes
Yet he doesn't see me
So him I despise!

So please let this story
Be warning, my dear
Contentment is fleeting
And life full of fear

No matter who tells you
It MUST be like this
You do have a choice
It's sealed with a kiss

Dig deep in your soul
Find what is in there
You're really quite something!
So just let 'em STARE!
