Amber hair and shining eyes
As if each day brought some new surprise
Confident and sure of my entirety
And unaware of every misery
If only this is how my life could be
I’d run out the door each day freely
And I’d greet the world so powerfully
And know that trouble is invisible to me
What I wouldn’t give for a confident me
I’d trade almost all I have right now
For not one soul takes me seriously
It cuts me up inside
And sends tears streaming from my eyes
I wish to soar above everybody
If only I could have a great destiny
If I could discover a reason to live
I’d hold onto it and never let go
If I could be stronger than anyone I’ve ever known
Shyness and timidity
If I could throw it all away
I’d ball it up and burn it to ashes
Just to experience one fearless day
A glowing smile and an acceptance of me
If only this is how my life could be.
The Greatest Fantasy
