Poems and song lyrics by yours truly

Back on course

Look at me now,
I'm doing my dream
Studying music
getting into the industry.

Love of my life,
stands by my side
looking from distance.
Am I truly happy?

I'm tired of burn out
tired of crying
tired of all of the sobbing and wailing.
Anxiety has taken control.

Locked in a box,
I have the key.
Look out the window,
laughter and joy on the streets.

I wish I was there
I wish I was free
setting my course
on a happier reality.

I'm tired of burn out
tired of crying
tired of all of the sobbing and wailing.
I'm truly a mess.
but I want to stand up and break free from my shell.

My knuckles are bleeding as I yell out from pain
"please let me out, I don't want this no more"
No more self-pity, crying for fake reality.
"I am myself and I'm breaking free!"

I just hope that you're happy
I don't care if you're by my side
but I want you in my life
I don't want to lose you,
you know?
But I'm letting go.

Setting one foot in front of the other, I'm leading myself back on course.
