“Glitter”
My trendy attempt
To be an original
Spoke out before I even thought
I guess in all my lies
I spoke some truth
And a shade of grey is all I got.
Floating down a stream
I was trying to stand out
My unoriginal attempt
to be original
Finding a common ground
Through a common sin
Standing together to take a fall
We built our friendship
Out of paper
Sprinkled with glitter
We called it silver.
I had to break away..
In hopes you’d understand
My desperate try
To know that world
I sold my soul
But when I found my way
And it all disappeared
I knew I had to let it go
My heart was dying
As I just lived on
I knew someday something would give
I turned to who I hurt the most
And He was always willing to forgive
But we built our friendship
Out of paper
Sprinkled with glitter
We called it silver
But it wouldn’t hold
Under pressure..
I had to break away..
In hopes you would too.
I had to come back
To what I knew was true.
