Broken and discarded
Like a child’s toy
I’ve been broken hearted
Spun around, destroyed

Picking up the pieces
In the carpet on the ground
Looking for some answers
In the lost and found

I’ve searched high,
I’ve searches low
I’ve been pulled into the undertow
Have to breathe and just let go
It’s all simply out of my control

There’s something that’s inside me
Everywhere I go
It tries to disregard me
It tries to run the show

I opened up a can of worms
But that’s not any of your concern
If nothing else at least I’ve learned
Build it up to watch it burn

I did not win the contest
I did not win the fight
Losing became a habit
I wasn’t all that bright

I chased and chased to no avail
I tried and tried but always failed
I fell and fell time and time again
But I never ever got derailed

I stood up to my opponents
I had fortitude and drive
I gathered information
On what it’s like to thrive

I changed the stars above me
To better suit my needs
I became a man I’m proud of
Agree to disagree

I haven’t cried in a while
Must be hidden behind my smile
I hold back the tears
Succumbing to fears
Been that way since I was a child

I needed a shoulder
Even though I’ve grown older
As tears stream down from my face
The life of a loser
An always wrong chooser
Living a life gone to waste

No other way to describe it
I know, cause I tried it
No dream and no drive
But, I’m lucky to still be alive

There’s always tomorrow
To drown in my sorrow
Another day wasted away
Time keeps on ticking
I’ve taken a licking
I guess that I’m here to stay

The ocean, in its natural form
Casually taking me away from the norm
Calm and serene
Violent at times
Sand on the beach
Good to unwind
Soak up the sun
No clouds in sight
Stay through the day
Soak up the rays
And into the night
The wind on my face
The breeze due in time
Sand in my toes
The sky so divine
