Where you are now
Is what you once prayed for.
But you never knew it would be this hard.
You never knew that proving yourself
Could make you lose yourself.
Lose the fire,
Lose the light,
Lose the smile—
Trying so hard just to save yourself.
So many dreams of what the future could be,
While avoiding the reality
Of the life you’re living now.
Following what they say,
As if I don’t have a mind.
As if it’s not my life
That’s slowly slipping away.
I keep walking on broken glass,
Not knowing how much more I can bear,
But somewhere beneath these wounded feet,
I hope there’s still a road
That leads me back to joy.
