Do you ever miss places?
That house on the corner
Those moments in time
A lifetime ago
Simply memories
You can never revisit
Just reminders
Of how far you’ve come
Who you were
Versus who you are today
That’s someone to be proud of

Places of past are my terrors at night
Eyelids close, now Its fight or flight
But your ankles just broke the fall
Memories flood & your lungs fill
Drown while you crawl
Lessons learned and lessons lived
Applied, rehearsed & perfected until you’re fake
Ashamed of the ashes you derived
Who I was, made these bones ache
The **** I’ve said, made my soul break
So I killed the boy to become his man

There’s no place like home
There's no woman like mom
Just a house of deja-vu syndrome
Beauty in-between chaos & calm
The one place it's okay to be blind
Until you want to see forever
There's more road ahead than behind
It goes quick, keep a present ember
& aware of your state-of-mind
If there's one thing to remember
You're at your best unconfined
