In my search for myself
—I've seen things
I shouldn't have
—I've felt emotions
I know were bad
—I've said words
I can't take back
In my journey to my dream
—I've done things
I couldn't have had
—I've taken chances
I know were beyond
—I've grasped clouds
I shouldn't have
Where I am—
I know I shouldn't
be standing on now
—this place I took
I know I couldn't
have grown from
For too long
I stayed in place
I dreamed with no regrets
kept my hands busy
because I thought
hard work would get me
to my dreams
Years gone by
but I'm still where I am
Time moved on
To when I am forgotten
I haven't taken
—a step forward
Chance flew by me
but I have held it back
Winds change course
and I'm left on my track
In my time under the sun
—I've dreamed of things
I couldn't have
—I've stretched my hands
into places I know were bad
In my fight to be heard
—in the destruction
wreaked upon my soul
—I've looked at my hands
and I know
—I've done things
I can never atone for
