Tick tock goes the clock.
You’re six feet under but too high but too high off the ground.
You finally get what you wanted but somehow
it’s just not good enough.
It’s a brand new day but just another scar.
Now you know that the past is real
but reality is just- a- lie.
You’re drowning but you don’t know
where you went wrong.
Your fear drags you under but
your bravery pulls you above the surface.

It’s like a roller coaster and each time you turn,
you don’t know what’s coming next.

Breathe in deep.. let it out slowly..

Your life is a battle now.
You don’t know what to do and, once again,
you don’t know where you went wrong.

Breathe in deep.. let it out slowly..

The past dwells in the back of your mind.
Why?
You don’t know.
Did you take the right path or the wrong?
The thought sits there as if it were a stain on your shirt.

Do you throw it away?

Or do you keep it?

Forget?

Or regret?

You’ve waited so long to be where you are now.
But now?
You wish everything was different.
Where did you go wrong?

Tick tock and the clock struck twelve.
