14. island being

the minutes of my life
searching for a path to follow
all of us on the same road
looking for signs to lead us home

most of us
take a divergent road
putting us on the line
to crash and burn

the bridges i try to burn and run
but i get called out
they call me stone cold
but all i know and learned
over time is:
"leave the people
before they leave you".

because when they leave
they steal the gold from you
and shatter all your visions...
a snap back to reality,
i'm taking it all back!
give some and take some
they'll leave you empty,
so don't let them have it.

a deserted island
they say no man's an island
but they'll make you feel that way
so i'd rather be this way
than them leaving me to starve,
for love.
atleast i wouldn't try, just to bleed
just to rot inside of my head.

and that's how it works...
unless there is someone
who would soak up all the smoke from the room,
turning my bad memories
into a fairytale,
something which could make me believe in...

P.s: "I'm still growing up, into the one you could call your love" 🖤 - ultimately (the song i linked above)!
