I thought I knew I had no idea, Like seeing the splendor of a new dawn for the first time, I am learning the void gets darker and heavier than you thought My instincts tell me to convert it all to rage because that's what I understand best But im too old not to know better, anger is a mask for pain and there is a lot hide these days. I feel it all, in moments where my focus shouldn't leave me. In the moments just before my body realizes its time for rest. I feel it all. I carry it all. I am quite simply burdened by my best. Doing all the right things in the right moments. Being the right person for every moment that mattered. And it all meant nothing, i carry it all. The weight of a new nothing.

The New Nothing.
I thought I knew I had no idea, Like seeing the splendor of a new dawn for the first time, I am learning the void gets darker and heavier than you thought My instincts tell me to convert it all to rage because that's what I understand best But im too old not to know better, anger is a mask for pain and there is a lot hide these days. I feel it all, in moments where my focus shouldn't leave me. In the moments just before my body realizes its time for rest. I feel it all. I carry it all. I am quite simply burdened by my best. Doing all the right things in the right moments. Being the right person for every moment that mattered. And it all meant nothing, i carry it all. The weight of a new nothing.
Three months in and im still in shocked. Life and your choices have forced me to feel things for something I thought I would only ever feel love for.
