Blank Page
I've been given a clean slate, wiped clear
They told me that this was it, no more tears
I was given this blank paper to write my story
To brainstorm a future and then tell my glory
It'S purpose I suppose is to create an outline
To become one with fate and life's design
I could make a life filled with luxury and pride
or one that's based on peace, I can't decide
But of course one with loyal and loving friends
Where there is never a reason to pretend
I could make a message of hope and desire
No one would be sad, no one would tire
I would base it in a small town, quiet but fun
The parties won't shut down until we see sun
what a wonderful story it would become
people would read it and they would come.
Unfortunately, the whole scenario is fake
That's the kind of life that we can't make
They want me to believe that this is my shot
To build whatever I want, give it all I've got
But that's not the case, I know it's all a lie
They are sugar coating reality so I don't cry
They didn't "give" me a new and clean slate
they just took my old one , but left the hate
this paper is blank not because I get to choose
its because I have nothing left to lose
I barely made it when my world suddenly died
It was ripped out of my hands, my faith denied
I am still learning still from the old life that I led
I know that its memories will never be dead
I know I am the one who caused the end
I am the one who lost every single friend
The fresh start was my creation by mistake
Or shall we call it destruction so I could make
I alone am the controller of what is to be
I am the person who molds today, just me
Tomorrow will be a reflection of choices today
So its time to start building a new pathway
I am not going to tell you a perfect lie
And I refuse to paint just a beautiful sky
my story shall be much more than a tall tale
It will show strength and also how I fail
it will tell of suffering, happiness and greed
it'll have people who are broken and in need
I want my journey to have meaning and truth
If we had no challenges, we would have no proof
