Imagine a life not Cowed by change Where I followed up years of Intent to refine I had long hair The length wasted Cause I can't account for the fear I feel When I'm not at home Evasive As a lifestyle failed Distant lights Frame a place That we used to go Bodega lights Frame a face That I used to know Watch me beg for answers While ignoring closure While every line on my face Spells out "she's no closer" Imagine a life not bound By pain Where I owned up to feeling Left out and behind I had short hair A life wasted And I can't account for the shame I feel When I'm all alone Evasive As a lifestyle failed I used to be A dancer Rolling on the floor With abandon I fell for religion That way Hatred fills my heart with bile Choking off a path to redemption I'll turn to face the world in time And find a way to softly say "I'm not the same"
