I look into the mirror
I can't recognize this woman looking back
Less lively, less fun
Happiness she lacks
Tired under eyes
Dry skin, messy hair
Dead eyes with no twinkle
Just filled with darkness and despair
This cant be the same woman
Hair up no curls
But look deeper inside those eye's
Different woman, same sad scared little girl
Fake smile hiding fear
Legs shaking with anxiety
Fear of losing, fear of failure
Heart filled with stress, happiness on empty
Her inner voice always putting her down
Telling her she'll never be enough, never be free
Never be funny, never be smart
Overall just never succeed
Voices inside begin to yell
"Your a loser, your a failure, you're a disgrace"
She just wants it to stop
"Be better, be smarter, pick up the damn pace"
"You're nothing, you're ugly"
She can't breathe, her heart is in a race
Suddenly she feels strong arms pull her
He's here, voices stop, finally her happy place.

I'm not a Vocal Newbie (not that there's anything wrong with that), and I'm technologically comfortable. But, I'm also perhaps too comfortable. I think I know, even if I know that I don't know what I don't know, I still think I know more that I do know.
