s m a l l

tell me what i would like to hear
end the silence i have saved for my fears
they will bring home the pictures
they will bring home the news
and i am keeping my distance from you

i try to make rhymes of how it starts
change the passwords to my hearts
two sides of me fight 
two sides of me breathe
i've always been itching and clawing to leave

the overcast sky reflects my mind
i'd like to be happy, but rather not blind
i can't undo the lines i've painted in ink
i can't go to the places i let myself forget
are we there yet, are we there yet?

are we there, can i sit still
are we there, can i sigh
are we there, can i really
make sense of it all?
i look up at the stars from memory's eye 
and feel nothing but small
