Press on Past You

In spite of the fact that you're here, and no matter how long you linger, I will move on past you this time.

In spite of the fact that you're here, and no matter how much you resist me, I will expand beyond you this time.

Every time I try to be what I can't help but be, I hit a wall of you, and in the past I've shrunk back into me.

In spite of the fact that you're here, and no matter how long you linger, I will press on past you this time.

No matter what you say to me, and no matter how much it hurts me, I will move on past you this time.

Every time that I have tried to expand the lines, and to take up some space, you have showed your face.

It's clear your purpose is to keep me from sprouting, to keep my flame down low, to keep me from shouting.

But no matter how much you are here, and no matter how long you linger, I will move on past you this time.

In spite of the fact that you're here, and no matter how long you linger, I will press on past you this time.

Yes in spite of the fact that you're here, and no matter how long you linger, I will move on past you this time.

No matter that fact that you're here, and no matter how long you linger, I will press on past you this time.
