What You Need To Hear

I thought I knew you
Hiding from the truth
The lies they are buried deep
All the things you wish to hide
You can try to wish the mistakes away
Cover them up the best you can
The imperfection
Are what you make them out to be
You forget the words
You speak only what lays in between
Near or far
Scared of what the future holds for you
So you sit idly time stands still
Waiting for you to answer the call
You could go anywhere
Be anything
But you choose to bow out
Hiding away
The treasures you keep
Only to yourself
While others envy what you hold
You can be more than what you appear to be
But you have chosen to have a painted face
Just treading water
Just trying to keep up with the pace
That everyone has set for you
You say you've been hardened
Feelings your unsure you can repeat
How can you go on?
When so much has been lost
Your to busy asking why me
Pity yourself
Take it up a notch
Step outdoors
Out of your comfort zone
Try to be something you have always wanted to be
Try something you've only wished you could do
At some point you have to get yourself a clue
And see how beautiful you are
Everyone sees it
If only you saw what they do
The life you could be living
The life you could be loving
Appreciating all those little moments
Instead of taking them for granted
All the things you could be embracing
Instead of pushing away
You let the depression sink you
The depth of sadness drags you under
If you could only see your life is worth saving
That the sun shines on another day
Even when your eyes remain closed
These words vibrate through me
As the you, I am talking to is really me
