WHY?

Why can't I love my way
loved instead of just prey
Stand firm in the face of what others expect
so I can look back without regret

Why would I ever settle for less?
How did I get caught up in this mess?
It's the most amazing thing longing for more
Yet when it stares us down we are done for.

I'm capable of love
yet Why do I shove
our life is full of walls and bridges
with a constant feeling like were in braces

The loves we left behind
or the ones that dropped us to seek and find
are still causing damage to the hearts
shackling us from truly new starts

No Time

Time you are never on time
I could've used that years ago
My patience for you has grown thin
but i see you didn't get my memo.

I can almost feel you mocking me
as you speed up and slow down
Forcing me to live in the memories of where I've been
Instead of basking in a moment that I drown

There's no time for sleep
No time for love and love in my time
There seems to be plenty of time to process
but no time to climb

I'm tired of being at your mercy
Tired of the hands moving forward
I'm consumed with time but none for myself
Only time for the absurd

Gone are the days of winding to keep up with you
I have found that I can never keep up
So I guess submission is my only option
in order to hold my sanity and worship
