Picture Me...
Picture me sitting, alone in a chair,
Watching, waiting, trying to be there
That place where it's perfect, always so fun
Waiting, hoping, for some place to run
Picture me trying, so hard to be right
Questioning, searching, avoiding a fight
A conflict of values, boundaries unclear
Finally rejecting them, don't know what you want to hear
Picture me learning, without doing as I'm told
A new chance to be, I can be someone bold
When I look to the past, I can find my way back
Now I look to the future and ignore what I lack
Picture me waiting for some sort of sign
Daydreaming as I wait for an intervention divine
I look at the answers strewn about everywhere
But to define the question seems more than I can bear
Picture me when I dance, as I spin toward the mirror
Once I'm so close I must stop, everything is clearer
I'm wishing, I'm hoping, I just want to run
I'm trying, and not failing, and I'm no where near done
Watching, waiting, trying to be there
