The Flip Side of My Mind

The feeling of being on the edge of breaking

Trying to slow the race of the breathes I'm taking

Attempt to convince myself this all won't end up wrong

Seconds ticking through my day begin feeling all too long

Close my eyes, I'm sitting at a dead end street

My hopes and dreams, reminiscing at my feet

The pain laced in the memories, I try not to recognize

My feelings are no longer a viable disguise

Trying to grasp reality, or just another dream

My thoughts keep getting so much worse than they seem

I hear people telling me not to worry

Constant self doubt, I'm beginning to bury

Cold air, colder bones

The fear of being alone

Listening to everything but my head

Because my heart is no longer full of dread

The pull to go, the want to run

But I know my journeys just begun

Time's flying, but it's no plane

I don't understand why people create pain

Pink stained sky and I'm looking ahead

If I turned around I'd see regret instead

Learning to turn mountains into mole hills

Accepting my dreams can be fulfilled too

Things I couldn't bear to deal with before

Come easier now i've let happiness through the door

In moments of despair

I'm learning to count on myself to be there
