I'm a reckless mistake
I'm a cold night's intake
I'm a one night too long
Imma come on too strong

All my life
I've been living in the fast lane
Can't slow down,
I'm a rollin' freight train

One more time,
Gotta start over
Can't slow down,
I'm a lone red rover

Imma hold my cards close
Imma wreck what I love most
I'm a first class let down
I'm a shut up sit down

I am a head case
I am the color of boom that's never arriving
And you are the pay raise
Always a touch out of view
And I am the color of boom

All my life
I've been living in the fast lane
Can't slow down,
I'm a rollin' freight train

One more time,
Gotta start over
Can't slow down,
I'm a lone red rover

How did it come to this?
Love is a polaroid
Better in a picture
But never can fill the void
These are the lyrics to Polaroid by Imagine Dragons.  I do not own this

They throw their hats in the ring
They may get a glance
But yours is the one I search for
Yours is the one I'd choose

"What's wrong with me?"
"Nothing."
"Then why are you staring at me?"
"Because you're beautiful."

I am from Bangle, the tiger
Believing he’d come alive and
Scare away my bad dreams.

I am from listening quietly
To chirping crickets on a starry
Summer night.

I am from being a military brat,
Climbing trees and scraping knees.

I am from musty, old basements
And farm chores at six in the morning

I am from a messy bedroom
And horse camp.

I am from candy corn, m+m’s,
And my grandmother’s funeral.

I am from exploring new houses,
Quickly running around
And playing hide and seek

I am from Christmas in Florida
And steaming strawberry rhubarb pie.

I am from my dad singing “My Maria”
To me as we cuddle on the couch.

I've given you every reason to walk away
Yet here you stay
DarkStorm Feb 2016
In a world full of liars and haters
It's wonderful to work with genuine, honest people
The unconditional love,
The smiles,
The tears,
The giggles,
Everything about them is authentic

Until they grow up

They are toddlers

I took the leap
I trusted you
No tests or time
You had my trust from the start

I opened up
I let you in
Everything was told to you
No holding back

But now I'm drowning
Now I need you
You don't want to hear it now
You say you're done listening

I walk away
I don't want to be a pest

I play my music
And accept being on my own again
