Be careful when handling, Built strong but I’m fragile These days show how easy A dam can break as the tears fall freely.
Lost in the “I should have” And regretting the “I could of” If all that I am is a collection of my actions, Then let me play the role, Explode on contact, this short fuse is blown.
Corner my confidence, Please put me in my dunce cap Because I’ve been fooling myself, Thinking I was so impervious Introverted dismissiveness Led to severed ties and downed bridges But I’d fall into this cab just to Come back home, one last time.
Whatever may come I’ve resigned myself to- Walking through the doorway Waiving my goodbyes, It’s time I left you behind.
The me I was When the hurt was too much, Never growing up - I split myself in half To hope you can carry yours As I can no longer look back. Built strong, I was fragile It was so easy to break the dam When the tears fell easy, And even the petrichor loses scent As I take this bus into the unknown Maybe I can give us a fitting end.
This concept...it's me talking to my inner child and exploring what comes next as I move into the next phase of my life. It's resigning myself to whatever comes next
