I realize life may be harder then I expected.
I was not cautious enough, that I got infected.
By the disease of giving in.
It doesnt seem to matter if I win.
I used to hunger for life.
I knew my future,
But now it seems like a lie.
I knew I had to work hard.
But not to the point,
That I starved.
I felt trapped,
Like Im bounded by bars.
I understand now,
That I wont always be able to see the stars.
I may reach to the heavens and above,
But it seemed so out of reach,
That I stretched till I was numb.
There were times where I had to cry,
I felt like I had lost the fire in my eyes.
My inspiriation and wonder was gone.
I felt as if my spirit was done.
There were many times I hit a rock in my road,
And felt as if it was time to let my ship be towed.
I could no longer call myself back.
It was my inner child I lacked.
I was looking past what mattered most.
To not lose myself, and keep hope.
I may make mistakes, but I will learn.
That when there is fire, sometimes you will be burned.
There will be times where I will feel like I cant move,
Weighed down by stone.
But when I feel like Im in the dark,
I will know I wont completely be alone.
The next time I go down harder,
I wil do anything but surrender.
So when I feel as if I am being pulled down with this ship.
I promise you I will not completely sink.
