ME FOR MYSELF

when will i be old enough to know

me for myself?

when will i be good enough to touch

heaven from hell?

when will i be free enough to leave

this pointless town?

when will i be light enough to fly 

if i am tied down?

when will i be brave enough to put

the past in its place?

when will i be tough enough to tell

the future to its face?
