THOUGHTFUL INTROSPECTION

I have found a place where I can restart
Somewhere safe to rest and mend this broken heart
For too long I’ve lived in a cage of my own design.
Now, I see it clear — a life I can call mine.

Let me stay here just a bit longer.

Wished it all away just to beg for it back
Funny how life just slips through your hands
Face to face with all my deep seeded ghosts
I left my family there, and they love me the most.

I can’t believe you keep coming back to me
Cause I’m so concerned with myself
I . . . 
And I . . .
