Pieces

I don’t want to be your side kick

Living in your shadow, I crave the spotlight

And I won’t be your enemy

When I have my own here, I want to be good

I don’t want to be your lover

If you can’t return what I’m prepared to bring

 

I can’t be a part of you

When I’m assembling the pieces of me

 

I don’t want to sacrifice me

When I don’t know who, or what I can be

You can’t complete me incomplete

Two halves don’t make one whole, where two hearts should be

I know that I’m all that I need

But I can’t be me when I’m caught up in you

 

I can’t be a part of you

When I’m assembling the pieces of me

 

Bad choices don’t define me

Good qualities won’t uplift me

I’m the sum of my parts

And what’s in heart
