I've taken some time away Sorting out all of the madness The fog has cleared and now I can observe The destruction left behind
Others may look at this wilderness before me And see nothing but a path of broken dreams But I see a new future building Fresh laid plans and patched up seams
Another journey which was not of my choosing But, hey, don't they say Expect the unexpected? Easier said than done, when you're head is screaming 'RUN!' Ignoring that, is a skill I've perfected...
An increase in self awareness Renewed vigour for all that is mine Events confirmed I should trust my gut instincts For they've held true time after time
There are those whose aim in life will be to knock you down, further than they dare to tread But you'll find out my 'friend' It's you who'll lose in the end When your own reflection becomes a sight that you dread...
I was strong long before all this tried to kill me, I didn't have to wait for that test So though old sayings may be true, Just between me and you I always knew, I was tougher than the rest.
