Bound
I feel like a tourist in my own life Standing idle and watching things go by Never gaining the courage needed to participate

Familiarity
Mistakes are comforting in a twisted sort of way They’re familiar Consistent Resonating an indescribable amount of sorrow within the soul The kind of pain that makes you feel alive Real Human The reminder is encouraging

Reassuring Faults
Failure tiptoes in like a surprise Never seen by hopeful eyes To try is a risk And chance is lie Better to admit defeat These efforts have yet been recognized Not visible Never seen Stuck in the void of in-between Tears fall heavy on crumpled pages Dances performed on empty stages Survival is just a mask Hope is such a thankless task Battling against the world and yourself Placed your dreams on the highest shelf But belief is a beautiful thing Fate changes with the weather Brush yourself off and start anew Released from your personal tether
