And So I Burned It All

www.artbyandrewdiaz.com

There I sat at the edge

My future was right in sight

Can't take that step for some reason

Some things I can't let go

Won't let go

My past

It can grab hold

It reminds

My mind always on constant rewind

Memories on replay

It's all gone yet I miss them all

Can't sleep

Past wounds still bleed

Soul deep

Trying to fit into this life

At times I want to die

I cut people off

I need that silence

Can't hurt me behind these walls

Window blinds closed

Yet I see them all

It's dark and it's my comfort

The only way I like be

I can't think

Don't want to feel most days

Gotta pull through this

Too much past

Too many bad memories

Must stand not crawl

Only way to succeed

And so I burned it all
