Tomorrow's Tears

Tomorrow's Tears

In my mind, I hear your voice
telling me I'll fail.
Every step I take thereafter,
is another step towards hell.

My heart cries for me to stop,
not risk the chance I'll fall.
Who'll be there to catch me,
when I lose it all?

But I don't want to live,
afraid of every turn.
Refusing to get close
to the fire, for the burn.

I don't want to cower,
when words are spoken in anger.
And see every man's hand,
as a flying fist of danger.

I don't want to cry
myself to sleep each night.
Or be the guilty one who
doesn't do a damn thing right.

I just want to be me,
the way I was before.
Alive and full of pride,
not afraid to open any door.

I just want to be free,
of the nightmares that haunt.
Of the shame and anger,
and the memories that taunt.

I just want to be loved,
for who I am inside.
So the girl full of dreams
no longer has to hide.

I want to wake up and be
free from all these fears.
With hope, love, strength, and
no thought of tomorrow's tears.
