I want to go back to the old days,
back to me and my old ways,
but those old way didn't work so well,
that's why I finally broke out of my shell,
I feel like everyone wants me to crawl back in,
when all I want in to feel like me in my skin.
I can't be anyone else but me,
but that's enough soon you'll see,
I'll steal your heart in no time at all,
you just have to let yourself fall,
no matter what I'll be here for you,
just like I know you're there for me too.
Look at me with those worn eyes,
tell me the secretes and the lies,
lay it all out, it's just you and me,
everyone says the truth sets you free,
the lies will bind you deep inside,
making the scars hard to hide,
nothing feels better than letting it out,
just get rid of your worries and doubt,
all the words will come out fast,
soon you'll whisper the very last.
Don't worry about me or what I'm doing,
the dreams I had or the ones I'm pursuing,
you had your chance but you walked away,
now your back and my thoughts go astray,
seeing you here brings back that old sting,
back from when you were my everything,
but you aren't my anything anymore,
I've moved on and shut that door.
I have always liked words. I like to find the right combination of words to portray exactly what I mean and I always feel better when I know that I said exactly what I wanted to say the best way I could. I think that is why I like to write poetry, because I can put words down in a way to convey feelings and experiences in ways that isn't just saying it.
I do critasize my writing a lot, but at the end of the day it helps to write and I'm glad I do.
