somewhere along the line

somewhere along the line i lost my self
allowed myself to falter

somewhere along the path: i lost my way
thought sanity could stay i was wrong i

ignored my heart and gave in to lies
passive the path i followed ... i lied

somewhere along the way lost my self
linked with your self i lost me

somwhere along the path we took a trip
we shouldn't have

we're having thoughts.. we shouldn't have
i should have said what i was feeling

going along is misleading
internal contusions and bleeding

forever running
im seeing

blurry figures through my tears
little black girl lost
in my tears
mass confusion
and my tears
a relapse about 20 years

a lack of words and my fears
a need for a shoulder
with clear steer
a comforting word
and silence here...

somewhere out there
im there

looking for me
calling for me

waiting for me
to pick up me

right in the spot
where i left me
