I’m not Like Her

I know I’m not like her
Never easy
Sometimes wild

My broken path chose me
My infinite compass

And there’s a tranquil calm that comes
When you embrace the chaos
that guides your way

A trainwreck, you say
Always too much
Or never enough

I’m not like her

But I wish that you could see
the strength that comes from breaking
And I wish you could see
the heart that hides beneath the storms

The easy path
was never mine to follow

I’m not like her

But I wish you could know
the girl who dances in the rain
Fervently aware
she’s standing
in the middle of a storm

And I wish you could know
the girl who throws all her chips
into a losing game
Not to be reckless
But because 
she gave it her all 

And I wish you could know
That even the wildest spirits
long for a place to call home

I’ll never turn out
like you planned

And I’ll always be nothing like her

But your second time disaster
still holds hope
for the light
when she stumbles through
the endless dark

And this second time disaster
still gives her everything 
Knowing it will break her

Again 

And I think 
That maybe
That’s worthy of something
or someone
worth knowing
