You believe you're cursed child
But I know the truth
There's a beautiful soul behind the fear
Who's screaming to get through
Grasping for identity
Searching for the real you
Dissimulate to hide the flaws
A different mask for each new day
No semblance of serenity
Mastering mimicry, monstrous
Inside feeling desolate
Ravenous for them to want us
Stuck behind the pain of the past
Never finding love that lasts
Push, pull, placate
believing it’s your fate
Those you love will walk away
Wishing one will someday stay
I tried to break the chains
I tried to free you from this fate
My hands are torn and bloody now
From trying to break through
And I can’t open up the door
But I’ll be here trying forever more
There is hope for you
and for all of us
To be self aware and loved
Unlocking knowledge deep within
Acknowledging the part of us
All of the subconscious beliefs
Attest to your validity
Confirm it’s always been
I don’t know what I can do
Except to hold space for you
‘Cause I don’t hold the keys….
Only you do
