Motivation is a remarkable flavor
Either leaving you bitter or craving to savor
It can help a bird learn how to glide
Or convince a person to commit suicide
A gift always taken for granted
A gift that has left my mind stranded
I was full of it
Problems far from heaving
But after awhile
I stopped believing
I was pleased like the sun healing from the flu
I was wrapped in an atmosphere of peace
A blanket I could never burn through
But it was snatched, it was too good to be true
Leaving this star with a shattered debut
Abandoning dreams that I’ll never pursue
I thought the fight would be harder than reaction
But these faces are just unwanted attraction
I didn’t do it well but I survived the distance
But they’ll never stop questioning my existence
It’s funny how one mistake can change so much
My heart is injured and in need of a crutch
But I don’t think I’ll ever recover from this permanent smudge
My clothes are ***** and my thoughts are unclear
I’m starting to believe that I shouldn’t even be here
All I can think of are the bad possibilities
Of what’s to come in the future of me being guilty
But if you’d just take a chance and have faith in me
Break the shackles and let me free
A prisoner no more, a citizen I could be
One who could clean all the mistakes and all the debris
For death by doubt is a painful decree
The human mind can be cruel only to a certain degree
All I ask for is redemption, oh won’t you end the agony?
Before I make another mistake, before I lose my sanity
