I love the time and in between

The calm inside me

In this space where I can breathe

I believe there is a

distance I have wandered

To touch upon the years

Reaching out and reaching in

Holding out holding in

I believe

This is heaven to no one else but me

And I'll defend it long as I can be

left here to linger in silence

If I chose to would

you try to understand

Oh the quiet child awaits the

day when she can break free

The mold that clings like desperation

Oh mother don't you see I've got

To live my life the way

I feel is right for me,

Say it's not right for you

But it's right for me

I believe

This is heaven to no one else but me

And I'll defend it long as I can

be left here to linger in silence

If I chose to would

you try to understand
