The way I am

It is the way I feel
Or the way I lie to myself
When I look into my heart and kneel
In front of what is left

It is the way I fly
When your eyes tell me
In dreams or in reality
That I am perfect when I cry


I am a strange animal you know
A voyager of misfortune
A warrior of life
A goddess of love


It is the way I tremble
When I look at you, hiding
In the shadows and gamble
On an uncertain future, fluttering

I know I shouldn't dream
I know I shouldn't cry
And shouldn't be hurt when it seems
That you only give me lies

But that is the way I embrace the world
And feel at ease with myself
Drowning in the pounding of my heart,
Making up for what is left


All because...

for you I am a strange animal
A voyager of misfortune

But in my head ...
I will always be

A warrior of life
A goddess of love.
