The lights and the music surrounded her

She felt her heart thrive

She saw the world in a new light

In the mist of getting lost she found herself

She lost her mind but she found her soul

A smile crept across her face 

A smile that finally didn't feel fake

The lights and the music surrounded her

She jumped up and down in the crowd

She let all the bad emotions out

Tears falling down her face

Finally not caused by pain

Maybe it wasn't emptiness she was feeling all along

Maybe she wasn't so far gone

Maybe it was carving herself into who she was meant to be

And maybe it just hurt a lot more than you'd think

They call it chasing the dragon

But maybe she was chasing herself

Hide and seek with her soul

Winning was the only way she could grow

Her skin melted off and everything felt bare

Only clothed with her emotions

Walking towards the explosions

She thought she was lost but she was there all along

Hiding in a cave barricaded by a thick wall

A wall made out of materialistic things

A wall full of what the world wanted her to be

She hid in that cave so long

By the time she came out she was blinded by the sun

A crowd of people watched the demolition

Coworkers who shouted she could never finish

Family and friends who were confused

This new coming they didn't approve

Some people shouted to stay in the cave

Be like the world and just behave

Tearing down that wall

Was the hardest part of all

But now that she has found her worth

Maybe just maybe her heart wont hurt
