Alive and living day by day with a smile on my face, even if there is a moment when sadness washes over me.
I collect myself and return to my center, the very meaning of me, the side many don’t see because my walls are always up.
Even when I let you in one door, another stays locked, and when you’re in, you break that trust and respect.
I’m sure you know you are locked out for good, and the only place you can go is in the lobby, and in that lobby, you will be lucky if you ever see the whole me again.
