eleanorrigby1 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Do I merely exist in the shadow of another woman? Clawing for the light… for the escape, the way back… Or forward… sometimes I can't remember. I'm striving for perfection at the expense of my self respect Close to tears, aching to breathe, holding my stomach Shaking my head and swearing to myself Hating myself, yet not wanting to give up Ignoring my own better judgement and the advice of others. I can't let go I cannot stop… not now that I have come so far… Not now that I feel so much… I think if I can just convince you Make you see.. See 'ME'… Ignoring the future, denying the present imprisoned in the past, YOUR past. Unable to break through I stand outside your wall banging my fists in frustration Asking and begging for you to love me will I always envy the one that I hate And that you only wish you did? And yet you just look… And when you do look at me, is all that you see, that I am not her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
