Reflections of the storm...

"How long have I been in this storm?"
Imprisoned in my thoughts as the night falls around me
My heartbeat unsettles everything within
Cracks surfacing, tear-filled canyons in my mind

Pictures paint a smile for what no one else can see
Voices and laughter fiercely smudging the harsh edges
I'll be your center stage... laugh with me
My guise grows strong with dizzying repetition

I am strong... yet I am weak
A walking contradiction... a beautiful disaster
I am lost... I want to be found
Discover me brightly in this world anew

A world where I am alone and wonderous
A world where there are no past loves
No encore performances to please you, my loves
Scurrying to heal and mend where I have no control

And only now... "I can walk on water"...
Brushing the glass surface staring at my reflection
Her modest, peaceful face is unfamiliar to me
Her benevolent tears ripple the waters beneath my feet

"And I will walk on water... and I know everthing will be alright"
