Confession

Waiting for the moment to confess I've let you down 
Still, I have to say I don't regret my choice 
I had compromised my standards, I had given up myself 
It's good to feel that I still have a voice 
I hope you'll find it in your heart to understand my views 
And to be with me- this is my final chance to turn dreams into reality 
They're knocking at my door 
They keep offering me hope I can't ignore. 
Looking in the mirror I can see youth stepping back
My reflection says, "Don't hesitate; you know it's time to act
When you're old, you'll have the time to sit back and reflect 
And you know the truth,  you know the purpose  you can not neglect."
Call it gambling, but my intuition is too strong
When this bet pays off, I'll introduce myself.  You have only known me trying to become what I am not
Now I hope you'll like me better than before 
They keep telling me to sell out for security
But my soul will die if I give in to mediocrity
I just hope you stay, have faith,  and say you love me anyway
And it doesn't matter what I do 
I'm still a part of you 
Trust me, love me, know that I will always want you here 
Fate determines I will always love you most 
I will serve you life's potential, we will feed our hungry souls
'Though you may not know, the end is  very close.
The end.
