Lonely

As usual, life doesn't go as planned. But hey, I'm starting to learn to roll with the punches (as they say) (and while we're on that subject, who are "they" anyway?).

It's a big wide world out there, with lots of places to explore. And hide.

"The smell of your skin lingers on me now...
I need some shelter of my own protection
To be with myself and center,
Clarity, Peace, Serenity...

The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry..."
