How foolish I have been to have charged blindly into the fray

A world too cruel,  too sharp for innocent girls’ eyes

Stumbling through things not meant for me

Fleeing a place I no longer wished to be

 

How has this world twisted me,  bent me,  made me what it wished me to be

Pulled and turned,  leaving nothing but a dangling fray

Wishing I did not have these eyes

Wanting to be blind to what they’ve done to me

 

How is it possible that I no longer know how to be me?

Wanting to please,  just be who I’m supposed to be

I’ve acted the part so long my soul is only that fray

I’ve adjusted my sight to the illusion,  mirages before my eyes

 

I still look back on that day when I rushed away with tears in my eyes

I wonder how I could’ve let this happen to me

When there is so much more I could be

As I rebraid the fray
