One Day

You never realize how alone you are

Until you are among your closest friends

Only then do you see your weaknesses; your flaws

Only then do you realize you're an outcast



But one day i'll have the power i need

I'll have the strength to walk away...

i'll have the knowledge to know why...

and the good sense never to look back.
