Everything felt like it was crumbling around me
\nEverywhere to go but home
\nLet\u2019s dig deep to find the pain inside
\nYou walked away and I was scared I would die
\nYou shattered who I let the world force me to be
\nNow I finally found the voice they drowned out all those years.
\nI\u2019m finding exactly who I was always meant to be.
\nI can look in the mirror and not hate the face looking back at me.
\nI wasn\u2019t looking
\nI didn\u2019t actively pick you to come inside of my walls.
\nTo push against them until they tumbled
\nWhile you stood back and watched them fall
\nI liked my black and white world
\nThought everything was perfect on my side of the door.
\nNow I have it all and more<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
