Take a Look

Take A Look

Adam Bogle 2012

You won't come around and its all my fault

You wont speak a word, but it's me that wont talk

Your message in a bottle brings your absolution

To call it one sided hate is your resolution.

Outsiders get to know more than I do

The eggshells you walk on were placed there by you

Despising my honesty resenting my truth

Never stopping to think I might be reaching for you

Each day I face my past, my demons, my hell

I live with the stories they continue to tell

That is my price, my penalty, my debt

To live each day with the cost of regret.

This road is quiet except for the screams

Of how I'm nothing and nothing is me

But I choose not to hear them and choose to be free

I'm becoming the man I was created to be.

The Work that I do is transforming I find

My Work gets done and does its Work in my mind

It tells me there's more to me than the limits you see

It grants freedom from the past and what I USED to be.

So I continue on, to do my work all alone

No mask to hide the man that's now gone

No lies to myself of what used to be

No acceptance of the limits you choose for me.

Evolving my soul into destiny's role

Chosen to be greater than your rejection holds

My mind set like a stone planted firmly it grows

Against all resistance it continues to flow.

So when your thoughts move to me and the images you see

Of the shell of a man that I used to be

Hold onto the thought that I'm somehow caught

Or open new eyes to see a free man that is me.
