Spark

A seed of doubt
Has grown into a tree
Tangled and overgrown
It towers over me
I didn’t know back then
I won’t forget it now
My heart was fertile soil
But we had no common ground
Everything unique in me
Is everything you said would need some shaping up
Or sorting out
But there’s a spark I had to hide
Hidden right behind the eyes
You’ll never see, that part of me
So go ahead, rejoice
You spoke, my body learned
That every critic’s voice
Should be my sole concern
These voices never sleep
You can’t reverse what they’ve done
A picture of defeat
I’m everyone and I’m no-one
Everything unique in me
Is everything you said would need some shaping up
Or sorting out
But there’s a spark I had to hide
Hidden right behind the eyes
There’s so much more, I’m so much more
I didn’t know back then
I won’t forget it now
I didn’t know back then
I won’t forget it now
