Words With Friends

Every year, I am brought back to the same places

It's like my mind begs me to catch up to the thoughts

I've had a billion times already

So-long. So-long to better days

So afraid, too afraid to face the road of failure

I've paved to find my way back home

I'll leave a trail of stones to prove

I've had my prouder moments.

Suddenly, my time alone means so much more

I know this heart is well known for falling apart,

But I'll learn to rely on the sunshine and the weather

To forget all our time together

I've got that itch again

To make things worse in steady increments

When the walls caved in, I was left to my own devices

And I learned

that day that I'm more real than concrete.

And now I know...

I'm not afraid
