Self Determination

Do you trust me
Do you know me
Because I don't know you

I feel vacant
Closed off by single-mindedness
Let down by my own uncertainty

I want this
But what do you want
That I can't determine

Are you tired just like me
Is this all we have
Is it all we've ever had

I miss it
Knowing what I am
Is it all we've ever had

I miss it
Knowing what I am
Amongst everyone who knows me

Self-determination is lonely
But it is comfortable
And away from unwanted eyes

You think you know yourself
Well I don't know
Who really can

But I hope you do
I truly wish it for you
Because I want it for someone

Breathe deep and look into your eyes
You cry and don't know why
And wish you could smash the glass ceiling

You can
It's your heavy head that holds you down
Lift it and square your shoulders

Live for your heart
Play hard with your head
May your guts show
