Marissa's Anthology - Part I

I'm standing on top of that mountain

And I'm looking down on you

I'm high on that pedestal you put me on

And I'm so scared to fall down

My best friend is here with me

It's a bottle filled with vodka or gin

I don't care as long as it makes me forget my fear of heights


I don't want to disappoint you

I'm trying hard to make you love me

Make you love me - the 'me' you want me to be

The 'me' you see

The 'me' I'd long to be

Honestly


I'm afraid to show you my true nature

For I'm sure that you couldn't bear it

You'd fail like all the others did

All the others - including myself


So I keep denying and build a dream instead

A dream that's bearable and wonderful


I know I am weak, I know about my insufficiency, be sure

I have run so long into that wood of insecurity

That I got lost

And I'm longing for your hand

For your help

I'm longing for someone that helps me getting out of here

That can help me leave these depths of confusion

Leave the one I am

And becoming the one I long to be
