Stay
I sit here thinking about what could have been
I grasp my pencil like it’s my lifeline
I can’t stop myself
It just comes
Thoughts race through my brain as if it were on a freight train
Focus has eluded me once again
Am I going insane?
Is it everyone else around me going insane?
Thinking about what could’ve been
Insecurities, baggage, fear runs through my veins
I’m ready to bail
Something keeps me frozen in this spot, in this moment
You can’t go back
At last I’m free, I hurl myself out there
Off the cliff, spreading my wings
Fear escapes me, left my baggage behind
I know who I am
For I have seen what great things may come
No more hiding behind my shadow
All in time I now embrace what is.
