Rising Above It

There she is again, sitting there alone

Anxious as can be and shaken to the bone

Foolish words she speaks and actions she'll regret

Consumed with the rejection she just cannot forget

When no one is around,

There is but one, who always can be found

"Hello little girl," He'll say, 

"don't you look pathetic today..."

Loneliness is my name, 

I come in many forms

I'll drop by to join you in the dark 

and then I'll leave you in your storm

But just before I go, I'll remind you why you're here...

It's the bad choices you have made 

and all the things you lack

Everyone will leave you, but not me... 

You know I'll be back

I'll join you in the bottle, a stranger's touch,

Or a crowd of condemning eyes

If you let me, I'll overtake you with my toxins 

And I'll own you with my lies

You'll be so use to what I say, it will become comfortable to your ears

This familiar feeling will replace your need for truth, in what you hear

There's One who I am like... 

Who too, will be there in the dark

Who'll stay by your side 

And could even monopolize your heart

He'll meet you at your lowest place 

And tell you who you are

But let me warn you dear, 

Before I go too far...

That voice is unlike mine, 

You'll find it hard to recognize a word

Things so unfamiliar, 

They could free you like a bird

But before you go befriending 

This newfound company

Remember that the easy choice

Always will be me

I'll tell you what you think you know 

About your identity,

He'll lavish you with a brand new hope 

And through mended eyes you will see
