Tell the World to Wait

Do not take my heart from me,

It is all that I have left to give,

Allow my thoughts to rest and play,

For I am trying to be me again.

I have walked a thousand miles,

Through pain and sorrow, I have smiled,

But strength diminishes and dies,

When no one sees the sadness in your eyes.

Tell the world to wait for me,

For I am living someone else's dream,

Lost in between the wakeful tide,

Of fear and anxiety.

Give me space to find myself,

And reach the gates I know too well,

For it is my soul that cries,

And lives under desolate skies,

I must rescue these tears,

And find my way home again.
