Becoming Somebody
August 3, 2011
Nobodies are afraid
Nobodies don’t take risks
Nobodies hide in the shadows
Holding shields they’ll never lift
They cower in the corner and crouch down low
And keep a person hidden in them
Their escape from the world worked for awhile
But their shields are wearing thin
They will take the risks, they will not be afraid
They will reveal themselves and become someone
They will do what they thought was the impossible
They will be somebodies in more ways than one
