Injured from the World

Mon, 02/03/2020 - 16:05 -- GhadiS

My heart is racing

A new life is waiting

Our time can't be wasting

Memories fading

Look out for life's swirl, help carry us all, injured from the world

 

We were clueless kids in school

Me, I was dumber than a fool

Never broken any rules

Strangers who didn't seem my kind

Turned out to be friendly soul mates this whole time

Work was hard, but together we all tried

I dreamed to be rebellious, and drive wildly on open road

Keep our youth, with these same people that I know

 

Another year, still not mature, but we know better

Spilling, venting, and gossip, until I met her

I'm so nervous, but hurt her I would never

Dreamed of our marriage

But that's not how life works, young love just shred it

Blue sky is open, we all thought freedom and adulthood meant no limits

Passion versus reality hits

Life starts to funnel and squeeze like torture, and we count the minutes

 

Time goes by fast, that childish excitment I had starts to rot

Not diriving wildy, but sitting in a parkig lot

I can't be alone, sad with my own exhausting thought

Of looking forward to the future, what can I conquer?

Not striving for fame, but a stable job and scholarships to help me sponsor

Growing up makes me forget what makes me happy

I'll try to keep my old friends longer for me

And if I lose you, I'm so sorry

 

I'm gonna miss ya

Why hasn't anybody tried to tell me

That the world was gonna stab our childhoods with responsibility

I'm trying to be positive

Adulthoods has its benefits

But I just learned to live this life that I love

I took it for granted, and now it's been evicted with my laugh and devotion

Hopefully I can adapt to the changes

And read a new adventure by flipping the pages

 

My heart is racing

A new life is waiting

Our time can't be wasting

Memories fading

Look out for life's swirl, help carry us all, injured from the world
