Growing Pains
What do you do when your world collapses?
When everything around you becomes darkness & snakes? Where you can’t trust the ground beneath your feet? You’re in the Greek underworld. Take courage, there’s often treasure to be found here. It’s time to grow or perish.
Did I love you?
Or was I too afraid to be alone?
Do I need you
Or is this something I can do on my own
Am I empty
Or did I need some room to grow
Did you heal me?
Or did I just need someone’s hand to hold
How can I give myself to you
Before I know who I am
How can someone feel like home
When the foundations caving in
How can I ever forgive me
When I buried parts of me
When I tried to set me free
And I wouldn’t leave
Do I miss you?
Or do I hate feeling all on my own
Did I know you?
Or did I create you in my head to stay afloat
Did you love me?
Or was I what you needed to feel like you were still in control?
Do I hate you?
When I know that you’re just broken but it’s not my job to be a way to cope
How can I give myself to you
Before I know who you are
How can someone feel like home
While the foundation falls apart
How can I ever forgive me
When I buried parts of me
When I tried to set me free
And I wouldn’t leave
I’ve been fighting to be free
But I threw away the key
I’ve been drowning underneath the water
But it’s only 5 feet deep
If I just walk out the door
How am I supposed to know
What I’m worth
When it hurts
At least I’m feeling something
Any way I move I’m farther away from me
I’m searching for something that I can’t see
Who am I when my name makes no sense to me
It might hurt but at least I’m feeling something
I’m feeling something
