Take My Breath Away

I am so tired

Of all of these people

Trying to change me

For something they want

I am so tired

Of all of these people

And their entitled ways

Taking what little I have

I am so tired

Of all of these people

And their controlling voices

Taking the freedom I had

I am so tired

Of all of these people

Telling me that what I am

Who I am, is bad; wrong

I am so tired

Of trying to please these people

Trying to be someone else

Trying to be myself

I am so tired

Of trying to be a person

Worthy of glance

Take my breath away

Take my breath away

For I am unworthy of glance.

Do me a favor

And ignore my pleas.

Take my breath away

For I am of no significance.

Do me a favor

And dress me in my truths.

Take my breath away

Hang my head at the altar -

For I have fell through a ring

Just like the one I wish I could be.

Take my breath away.

Fashion me a grave.

Ready it for my coffin -

And throw the first fist.

Take my breath away

And lay flowers at my stone.

Imagine my laughs and smiles

For I have gone; unworthy was I.

Take my breath away

Someone above may see

This child unworthy by glance

Worthy by heart and mind

Take my breath away

And follow the cars outside

Watch these cemetery gates close

And don’t be afraid;
