Never going to walk away

You keep me forever at bay

 

Every emotion seeps out my pores

Moving forward keeping the past behind barred doors

 

Filled with tremendous courage

The past whirling like a tornado

Ready to smother you at any moment

But striving forward is all you were taught to know

 

Filled with tremendous courage

The past whirling in a huge mess

Ready to envelope you in its deep caress

But striving is how you were taught to flourish

 

The struggles are what keeps you from walking away

Every emotion seeps out of millions of pores

Convincing yourself to move forward, trying to keep everything behind chained doors

Lies and regrets keep one forever bound in misery

 

High up, yet easy to grasp

My dreams enclosed in a buckle ready to snap

Open and let loose the clouds

Evaporating, moving farther away from the reachable grounds
