The concept simple
The reality much different
It was suppose to be a new start
A new chapter of invention
A new road being paved
But the chains still hold
the obligation of blood
The concept of staying

I shouldn't be bitter
I shouldn't be upset
"Enjoy the time you have"
but when its holding me back
is it still worth it?
The roar of the crowd
The flashing lights
My voice horse from having fun
My body bouncing to the beat

As the song plays
As my voice swings the melody
The tears streamed down
And I thought of you

Wishing to have you as mine
Once more
Wishing you sat
In the empty seat next to me
You thought you were smug
filling the complaints
hoping it would be a slam dunk on my failures

you didn't realize I still had proof
or the evidence
or the gift to show your issues
without confusing my truth

So swift you came out swinging
and all you did
was ink your fate
as the villain you are

so thank you for the inspiration
where your always shown
as the monster you truly are

and the world moves from your lies
and only remember one name
mine
So careful you walk
Up above the white clouds
Dance on your tightrope

Your wings
So beautiful
So elegant

Swift you fly
Up above heaven filled sky
Along with winds we hear

Do you ever
Miss the ground
Or the ones who walk it?
Yin
It's been years since I've seen you
Years since we kissed
A lifetime since we embraced in love

Despite the statements
Of how I'm fine by myself
Or how I don't want to share my space

I miss you
Despite the years
Despite the venom of your actions

I still long for you
I still miss your embrace
I still miss you

Is what love is
The emptiness
The ticks of a cupid struck mind

Is this where you sit?
The corner of my gaze?
Right out of reach?

Will we ever have our
Happy ever after
This lifetime, or is this one just in passing?
I got away from the fights
The sleepless night of yelling
The uncertainty of safety
Unstable home
Endless self doubt
Insincerities

I ran from everything that made me
The fear
The endless mind games
Never being enough
The constant minefield
You raised me in to navigate

I look released
Because for once
I'm happy being imperfect
Happy being broken
Happy being the mess I am

Because I am me
And I finally get to be that
Just me
Oh so simple they say
A Penny for a thought
So small
So simple

But why however
Is it when the thoughts become ideas
Their value changes from a Penny
To a pat on the back?
A job well done
A good old effort

The endless ideas of a chaotic mind
Only lead to frustration and anger
No money for the constant train
Because they would bankrupt and drain

A Penny for a thought
A smile for a idea
A wishing well
Throw a coin in
Let me wish you well
