So long spent on your escape
So much time and effort
into growth and understanding
and for what?
It’s so easy to throw it all away,
turn right back around and walk
into the void you tried so hard
to turn your back on
So much given all for nothing
So much of you to cast aside
only to pick up the pieces
you removed so long ago
and use them to fill the gaps
Becoming someone worthy
just to let the facade fall
when the going gets too tough
All that sacrifice
just to fill the future
with the baggage of the past
Unrecognizable from the beacon you’d become
to the shadow of the truth you hide behind
