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
