Forced to Look Behind

Deborah Lee Tindle


Eerily time made no change
Pointing fingers, laying blame
Lying over and over and over and over
Deceiving your mind
Dug my grave, trash my name
Yet here I stand so you won’t fade away.
Now I’m forced to look behind
I’m forced to look at you
You wear a thousand faces
Broken mirrors paint the floor
Why can’t you see the truth
You wear a thousand faces
Tell me, tell me which is you?

Overcome

Don’t cry victim to me
everything we are and used to be
is buried and gone
now it’s my turn to speak
it’s my turn to expose and release what’s been killing me.

I’m entitled to overcome
completely stunned and numb
knock me down throw me to the floor
there’s no pain i can’t feel no more.
I’m entitled to overcome.

Finally see what’s beneath
everything I am and hope to be
cannot be lost.
I’ll be dammed fighting you
you’re impossible, impossible!
say goodbye with no sympathy.
