Doubts

Am I here

Or somewhere else

Are my bad days

Following

Closer than my good

I could run

I could forget

Everything I've

Ever done

~

Keep your head up

Tomorrow will

Be better

Than today

Don’t worry

You got this, kid

But

What if

I smoke too much

What if

My addictions

Are feeding

My sins

~

Baggage keeps

Following me

Into all my beginnings

And I can’t

Put it down

Because

My thens keep

Clouding the

Blue sky

Of my

Nows

~

Do I believe

It’s okay

To be tired

To need an escape

To an island

To be a castaway

Beside an ocean

Where I can be

My own

Shoreline

Or am I lying

~

Every step

Every breath

I take

Is a second guess

A new answer

To a question

That felt

Right

At the time

~

Every doubt

In my mind

Every fold in

Give up

Feeling

I have

Is swimming

On the surface

Of a

Drowning

~

If I forgive

My Delilah heart

Can I be

A Sampson again

Can I

Push down a temple

On a thousand

Days and

Nights

That

Hurt

~

Only tomorrows

Running

From yesterdays

Know

Who I’ll be

When this journey

Curves and bends

And I’m far away

From the

Pavement

Under my feet
