Two Steps
Sometimes going backwards is going forward.
I've always felt invisible
Like I am a ghost
Walking through this life
Without ever getting noticed
I could run in circles
Or wear whatever I pleased
And somehow
Nothing would change
I always felt alone
Wondering
Longing for one day to be known
I've learned to be a gentle soul
Yet we definitely have our days
Where no matter when someone tries to bring comfort
I turn into a long-needled cactus
It's not that I mean to be
I have a soft voice
But underestimated
You can hear a roar that is louder than lions
Things have changed now
I feel like I am seen just a little bit more
I realized that I'm never alone
Even if no one is around
And solitude became a friend
Closer to any friend that I have ever met
Maybe that's what happens
After a heart has been torn
It's not sad anymore
Maybe a little more humble
A little more accepting
Where patience runs through the veins
And in the shattered pieces
There is now a glow
Some days I think its insanity
But today my soul tells me no
That this moment
I am where I am supposed to be
