Burning Bridges

Burning Bridges By Lola Battle While I’ve been burning bridges You have filtered out the noise I lost myself in wanderlust You forged ahead with poise When I was screaming silence You stayed faithful to the course Cause sometimes I brought thunder While you prepared for discourse There’s times to walk away When I don’t know what to say Cause I was burning bridges They laid ahead; I lost my way So who am I to tell you that I think you have to fall Its chaos that I sought but it was wisdom that I found Now I am building bridges that can travel up and down Knowing now, the sober ones are truly found A time to stay and a time to stray A time for discourse and a time for disaray Still I flash an unfiltered smile at night Knowing when the demons stray, i’ll always be ok
