Paperwhite Princess--written in 2012

What am I hungry for

If not the booze or the food

Or the thrills I've been having

To satisfy the emptiness

Been looking to find me, God

And begin this fearless recovery

But I'm stuck in this cycle

That's bringing me down

Cuz I don't know who'll be here

When I come around

A paperwhite princess

Dances around in my head

Telling me to be exactly like her

But I just can't tell

If that's what I want

I don't wanna pretend

I'm something I'm not

I've been searching some time now

To hold onto something

When I clench these cold hands

I slip thru my wanting fingers like sand

One step into something

And then three steps back

When will I be enough?

When will I be enough?
