Half-lived Lives And The Honest Truth

“Half-lived Lives And The Honest Truth”

I’ve worked through much in this half-life time,

So many lessons I’ve had to learn,

Hate enough to hold on,

Love enough to let go,

Care enough not to let your feelings show

For so long I’ve had to bite my tongue,

I bite it hard until it bleeds,

The taste of my regrets fills my mouth,

All of the experiences I’ve had,

Are just lines to divide this long road

Where does this leave me now?

Where do I turn?

Where can I go from here?

I’ve grown to hate everything I loved

And embrace my greatest fears

I try to write, and nothing flows

It’s the only way I let things go

I try to hope, but nothing grows

This is the only thing I’ve come to know

Sharpened corners and deadened ends

Is life meant to be for the discontent?

Where we are judged on what we choose to vent,

Everyone wants to teach, but no one’s wants to learn,

We’re measured by scars and what we own,

But we’re all fucked and have nothing to show...
