Live your life with nothing but the wind in your sails,
When the wind ceases it becomes clear what your heart really feels
You’re either in a repose or emotion overload
Sometimes it’s a high, but all too often we focus on the lows
There may be no “I” in team, but the team forgets about “M” and “E”
I pour my heart out on the field, and yet nothing I receive
People sing praise, but when was the last time they poured you cabernet?
Sweet off their tongue, yet forgotten in their mind
Living as a ghost, yet my heart never resigned
The youthful vitality combated by invisibility
Don’t be fooled, it isn’t a superpower it’s a fallacy
Married to Happiness, haunted by Loneliness
Scammed by Regret as the scars burn like a cigarette
Can’t believe it when I say “I’m fine”
Everyone knows that line is always a lie
Too afraid to share what’s really stalking around my mind
From doubt, fear, and spiritual warfare
The girl who does it all, is just a girl trying to survive
The girl who doesn’t say “no”
The girl who’s exhausted, but will never let it show
Denies the revive…
I’ve done my time, living without regret
Is a motto I will live and die by.
