how could I have been so wrong?
I have been all along.
tell me this can not be true.
cause everything I do,
it feels like a hurricane,
the way it knocks me back.
now I'm facing separate roads that I do not know.
time lapse of my past,
reveals the cards I deal.
layered was my point of view,
redo it's time to start a new.
it's a new day,
break these chains, break these chains.
it's my own way,
I can't stay, I can't stay,
until I'm happy.
compromise leads to accepting what I have done,
scrapping all I know to regain what I once loved.
spending my days writing in a notebook,
cleansing myself til my very world shook.
going to the lengths I never knew were possible,
I find myself being launched from this hole.
so free.
nowadays it seems like we are all following the same old wave.
why not push for a new one?
nowadays it feels like everyone wants to lower their heads and join a crowd.
why not make a new one?
nowadays it sounds like we are all picking from the same dilapidated tree.
why don't we plant a new one?
nowadays it seems like we all cater to an outdated system.
why don't we build a new one?
nowadays we all work to fill the same hold as yesterdays.
why don't we fill a new one?
nowadays we all kill each other for a drink from a single water hole.
nowadays we plant a time bomb that will detonate long after we are gone.
because nowadays we just want to secure our time because we all just live for ourselves.
nowadays I've had enough.
like in autumn when the leaves are falling,
the seasons changing, I'm changing my ways.
every leaf that falls away from the branches,
reminds me of all the bad memories
every second that I spend alive here,
a golden aura around how it's meant to be.
and every second that passes,
I'll smile through the days
