Down Inside

I am down inside my solitude-behind walls that keep us apart-
because you have heavy footsteps and I am sheltering my heart-

I am down inside my anger-not knowing what you want from me-
unaware of what will please you-down on my knees eternally-

I am down inside my numbness-you speak for whatever good it does-
you need the person I used to be-but I can't remember who I was.

I am down inside my thoughts-puzzled by what changed since then-
once you were my every breath-now I'd care less to see you again-

I am down inside my sorrow-because you hold to mistakes of past-
denying that you failed me-flying over so far so fast.

I am down inside my words-after all this time, you haven't a clue-
and it matters not what I do-I'll never be good enough for you-

So go about your way,
make your rain and part your sea-
leave me down inside myself
and someday I'll be free-
because I'll never ever have to prove
I'm good enough for me.
