Starting over and staying calm
Trying to right all wrongs
Holding out on further excitement
Needing to organize and time it
Still, I've learn to accept
What to approve or reject
In acceptance of the fact
I can't get you to react
Unless it's intended to shame me
But, who can really blame me?
I hold onto ideas tightly
Even when they are frightening
Feeling cold but acting warm
Just to survive the storm
Only trying to appreciate more
When the pain reaches my core
Need to let go, move on
No choice but to stay strong
The stress seems to pile
It's too much to compile
Silently sneak my way through
Onto my next move
Smiling, even when feeling down
Just to keep you around
Sacrificed all of my pride
Just to heal from the inside
This battle is not worth fighting
Caught in a storm, struck by lightning
Failing, but refusing to crawl
Won't let anyone see me fall
It's essential to have patience
With everything you are facing
Out of place, but remain still
With plenty of time to kill
I understand I'm not a first choice
Seemed to have lost my voice
Attempting to find the light
Attempting to make things right
Blending in with my surroundings
Feeding off the energy around me
Not knowing when to speak
When inner emotions leak
Searching for the deeper meaning
Even when the world is deceiving
Is the message even reaching?
Is the moral worth teaching?
Acting fine when all is broken
Reassurance is a treasured token
Remain structured with limitations
Mind in need of a vacation
Words quickly turn into mumbles
Stay quiet and remain humble
