Britches

Dreaming, in a way that was only built for seeming 
that a day would come and you would stand beaming,
open arms in a way that I would still see gleam, in your eyes, 
disguised in a lie 
Open arms til I rise
Thinking in a mind that was always built for shrinking 
down to a size that means sinking 
in a pond too small to catch the drink and the wink in your eyes, 
disguised in a lie 
Open mind til I rise
In my heart, I can see, in my mind, what can be
Look through my eyes, I'm seeing me 
With no disguise, my life agrees
You can't see me 
Wanting for the grey and the web you've woven, is still daunting 
Dark in a way that leaves your glow haunting 
Twisted arms that've grown around me 
I still see the taunt in your eyes
In my heart, I can see, in my mind, what can be
Look through my eyes, I'm seeing me 
With no disguise, my life agrees
You can't see me 
Waking to a day and a house that's waiting for breaking, 
bright in a way that leaves my soul quaking, 
in room with walls that fall and I'm staking claim
to the eyes that can see to the sky when I rise 
What can be, what if I, could see me, 
But through my eyes,
I'll rise
