The Thought of Losing It All

written by: rstephens93

And as much as I want to run ahead
You're what stops me, the light turned red
As much as I want to cut these ropes
Unleash these dreams, live out these hopes

I'm stuck in the pages before
Knocking at the locked door
Breaking down the walls I placed
Crossing paths with the lines I traced

And I'm still searching for my steady position
Trying my best with the choices and a final decision
But I keep getting stuck at the corner lights
Waiting for the cars to pass through and into these busy nights

But the thought of losing I've ever found
Shoots my wings and causes me to hit the ground
Takes my moon and stars and brings them down
Brings about the waves that cause me to drown

But it's the trials and mistakes
That I need to make
Playing the card raising the stakes
Taking the chance I need to take

And it's these monsters that need to come my way
To make me who I am, and form my coming day
For it's the ones I created
That cause all this pain and hatred

So until I'm on steady ground
Cut me a little slack
