Carried Away

Drown in your own tear drops;

fight back the waves.

Question what reflects from your soul,

what continues to make your heart cave.

Split your brain in two;

unable to decide.

Lightning strikes in your body,

something you can not hide.

The past comes and haunts,

lingering present in the future

The mistakes you can’t undo;

the skin that can’t unscar

But when the sun rises,

new beginnings unfold.

Your shadows reflect

a heart so pure, so gold

Remember who you are,

The reasons you stay,

and you’ll realize

you just got carried away.
