The old familiar voice is back
The doubts and insecurities
Drowning out everything else
Bury me in the negative
Until I can’t see anything
But failure and impending doom
Let the waves roll in again
And drag me under the crushing force
I’ll never prove myself enough
To silence the critic in my head
There’s just no way to win this one
He’ll always find a way
Open your eyes
It’s time to wake up
Lift up that fog you’ve been living under
Face your true reality
Make it what you want
You’ve suffered long enough
Shake off the silence
Take back the control
Grab the reins
Seize the days
Shape the world the way you’d like
Don’t let others drag you down
Back into your slumber
Be what you were meant to be
Not what they make you think you are
Clear the sleep away
It’s time to start again
There’s a crack in the wall
Where the light shines through
The stone stood strong
In the face of the storm
But the worst has subsided
And nothing yet stirs inside
But maybe through that little break
The right things might make it past
And bring color back to dark spaces
So that it may once again
But all that it was meant to be
Inside that heart and soul
Sorry I can’t talk right now
She took my tongue away
There’s no room for anyone
Here in my little sphere
I won’t even look your direction
(I wasn’t looking then)
For fear of what might come my way
If somehow I let you in
I’ve been destroyed so many times
I’m still broken to the core
And I can’t piece me back together
If I’m waiting for the end
So let me be the lonely hermit
Let me sort out all my mess
I’m likely not good company anyway
But that’s a chat for another day
