Free To Do Anything

Free To Do Anything

The world has grown silent and still.
Everyone peacefully slumbers as I stand here alone,

Gazing into my reflection and recognizing all my flaws and imperfections.
Reality comes crashing down on me,

I realize I'm far from indestructible.
Maybe I'm not the person who I'm meant to be.

Perhaps I've been living a lie.
Just acting the part that I always thought I was intended to play.

But I no longer want to be a part of this pathetic scene;
This sad excuse of an existence.

I need something more than this life,
So I'll slowly chip away at this mask that I've been forcing myself to wear.

I'll wipe away all the stage make up that I've been hiding behind,
And I'll let the tears freely run down my face and wash away the pain.

I'll show the world what I'm really made of.
Bare all my scars, show all my weaknesses, and face all my fears.

Let myself become completely broken and vulnerable.
I'll fall until I hit rock bottom.

Because it's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.
