Take the initiative

For what we’re up against

To Make them understand

I only tried my best

The way things are

How it was and how it is

Is there something we can do about it?

Perception is everything

Humans have the primal instinct to shame others

not realizing we’re the same

Accept things for what they are

the only person you need to change is yourself

Allow each other to find our potential

The skies are the limit

for what can be done

quit doubting yourself

and have some fun

Getting back to who I was

A past to remember

A way forward

Out of the shame

To fulfill a purpose

have a plan

All these thoughts troubling me

Keeping me from living my life

The way I should be

The feeling like I’ve somehow fallen short

Leaving me alone in remorse

The fear of being too late

Of somehow missing out

And being cut off

Away from the frustrations of all this doubt

I just want you back

To hold you in my arms

Far away from danger

Far away from harm

Do we know our worth

Will we stand the test of time

All of our love needing defined

I wish I could see your face

Save you from this treacherous place

You are my reason

For not giving up

You mean so much

Don’t want to pretend

That I have it all together

Want to know what I lack

Who and what we are

And what we’re about

should we be afraid?

Of what we don’t know?

Want to know what it will take

To have you back in my life

So afraid to hurt you or make a mistake

How could that be possible?

Just need to believe in myself

To realize what I need

To overlook all the lies

Out of this discrepancy

Will we choose to love ourselves

Give ourselves another chance?

A way out of the confusion

To have a fighting chance?

I hate to keep you waiting

I hate to be so behind

Not the man I want to be

But I have an open mind

Oh how I wish I could be a better man

Figure out what needs to be done

What I need to understand

Should I just let it go?

Walk away from all of this?

Too many things I hold myself accountable for

Create a better future

Have a better life

Somehow I don’t remember

What I had before

What I need to be

For me to be secure

I know I hurt you

Wish I had a way

To make it up to you

This shame that won’t go away

So many things I’m not sure of

Don’t know the reasons why

Don’t want to hurt you

You and me where not a lie

Want to give you what you want

Want to give you everything

So much there is to know

Were we meant for each other?

Will I ever know?

Unfair to blame me

Do you really know my heart?

We all see what we want to see

It’s really not that hard

We should at least keep in touch

And get to know each other more

Don’t want you to hate me

For things I did before

Hold on to the plans I have
