Stand Inside

Morning comes through

unfamiliar windows I watch

the shadows cross the floor

Another day

is waiting for me

But I don’t know

what I’m waiting for I’ve been moving through the motions

Letting every hour pass

Collecting little pieces of a life

I never stopped to ask about

Maybe I don’t need a reason

Maybe I don’t need a sign

Maybe I just need to stop

And listen to my own mind

I want to feel every moment

Even the ones that hurt I want to know that I’m here

Before another day disappears No more standing

at the doorway No more watching from the side

I don’t need to have the answers I just want to feel

alive

I remember all the faces I remember every place

But somewhere between the years I stopped recognizing my own face

So I’ll take the road before me

Even if I walk alone

There’s a difference between being lost

And finally choosing where to go

Let the morning find me waking

Let the years fall where they may

I have spent enough of my life

Waiting for the perfect day

I want to feel every moment Every heartbeat,

every breath

I want to meet the person waiting On the other side of

this

No more standing at the doorway

No more living half inside

I don’t need to have the answers I just want to feel

alive

For once,

I want to be here

When my life begins.
