Waiting

Break me down, build me up Turn me around; teach me to never give up I’ve been kicked around and I’m feeling it now I’ve been pushed and pulled and it’s bringing me down My walls are closing in My mind is breaking within I can feel my heart begin to collapse I can see the broken pieces shatter and crash It’s hard to see beyond this closed door It’s hard to move locked inside walls of four There’s a break down in the system here The path to take just isn’t clear I’ve been free falling for a while now Trying to move but can’t seem to go Coasting in an abyss of lies and bitterness Every fiber of my being screams, “Rid me of this!” I can feel the end of the road meet up under my toes My fingers start losing grip and I step toward what I don’t know Blinded from the truth I find I must take a leap For my hope to be reborn and my soul to keep Every step I take I risk it all As I quiet my soul and wait I gain it all
