Do you know me?

Do you know me?
Little girl, open those eyes,
The big beautiful brown eyes,
Flutter your lashes for me,
Little girl, twirl in your dress,
Do you know me?
Little lady, hold my hand,
Show me that smile,
That lights up your face,
The smile that rounds your cheeks.
Do you know me?
Little woman, turn around,
Look in the mirror,
No, don't try to hide,
Take a closer look,
And try for once to see;
See your beauty,
Instead of pointing out your flaws,
Look again,
Do you see me?

"Hide and Seek"

I feel so fragile sometimes,
Trying too hard to grow,
Just to match what you see in me,
I am not the strong one,
But honey, I need to be,
You've been so patient with me,
And I've been so out of it,
Now you need my laugh,
And I will give it my all,
But I am so scared,
Inside I'm still the girl you found,
Who hid in the corner,
Shedding tears in colouring books,
Retreating to pillow forts,
When the real world got too near,
But it's time for her to play a new game,
Hide and seek, She'll hide and I won't seek,
Until I know it's safe...

"A Choice Like Me"

In a world full of beautiful people,
Why is it me you're drawn to?
When you could sail the calm seas,
Why do you weather my storm?
I won't question your intent,
But I can't fathom your choices,
You're the only one I long for,
But Why, why can't I understand,
That someone like you,
Could make a choice like me.
I strive to feel what you see in me,
I reach for the stars you see in my eyes,
The magic you whisper into my ears,
When my night gets darker;
I look to find it when I'm alone...
But what captain would sail;
Through treacherous waters,
When the morning might bring,
A fresh start?

'Happy'

Happily scared to be happy,
Sadness and loneliness an old friend.
Built an unstable home of the ashes,
Of a past that burned that crumbled.
Navigating by this map of scars,
That adorns my thickened skin.
It takes a monstrous courage,
To shed just a layer of this...
But will you promise to hold my hand?
Will you pick me up when I fall?
Could you ward off my worst critic?
Drown out the voices of those that did not see,
The road I took to get here?
... I know it's a tall order,
But is my blind trust in you grounded?

'Crimson Roses'

Red rose petals falling,
From this thorny rose bush,
The cold wind breaking off another branch,
This sea of crimson breaking the fall,
Pooling at the roots,
Only feeding the growing thorns.
Sharpening the barbs,
To keep the thieves at bay,
Or must you all bleed me dry?
