Lifes Prayer

Running out of options

There are no more places to hide.

It wasnt my plan to stumble through life

Im one who enjoys a ride.

Theres a long walk ahead

Now I must leave behind my supplies

Cant tell anymore secrets

Because Im running out of lies.

Time keeps on moving

Leaving behind my reckless youth.

I can no longer hide behind the excuse of tomorrow

Im getting tired of running from the truth.

What happens when what youve become

Is all that youve come to know.

Innocence and ignorance truly are a bliss.

Thats why its so hard to let go.

For every excuse I come up with

Their reasons double by the number.

I really want the best of both worlds

But the rule is one or the other.

My shield of confidence is worn

From the battle against endless voices.

I cant bring myself to find expectation

Because I detest making their choices.

This faade has run its course

Ive been incarcerated yet again.

How do I keep fighting this battle

And hope that the otherside

Ends up to win.

What if theyre right and Im wrong

Or maybe the other way around.

No matter how high one can get.

Its always a long fall back down.

Everything weve worked for

Aint really worth a damn

Human beings are all we are

Imperfect is what I am.

Send me where you want me

It makes no difference here nor there.

I could walk the world around

And probably still make it back to no where.

I heard every word theyve said

And to be honest I agree

But the hardest thing about all this.

Is seeing the things they see in me.

Its time to grow up

Its time to get smarter

I feel like Im sitting in this stone pot

And the water keeps getting hotter.

If I have so much to offer

When why do I feel so useless.

Why is it they have so many questions

And all Ive got are excuses.

Am I suppose to see the world?

Or maybe write the next great book.

I seem to have misplaced my purpose

Would you mind and help me look.

The more each day progresses

The more I continue to grow.

To realize that the answer to my question.

Is something I already know.

People cannot make you learn

All they can do is teach

I used to believe you could grab your stars.

But down here theyre too far to reach..

Now I feel cold and empty

Like a piece of scrap metal.

Cause I dont want to let go of my dreams.

And settle down just to settle.

I miss when tomorrow

Was just another day.

I wanted success to come to me

Now I have to meet it half way.

The grass is greener on the other side.

But I cant quite hop the fence.

Im losing grip on the life I was in control of

Now nothing seems to make sense.

Pain is the debt we all must pay

Its the price of having
