Time

It’s funny how many surprises time holds
We expect the unexpected and embraces unfamiliarity as life unfolds
Your response to circumstances leaves me dazed and mystified
I thought that I grew up but you humbled me back to reality, stupefied
Who does that reflection belong to?
I used to be resilient through and through
But somewhere along the way I got caught

In a web of lies and pretence, but a lesson needed to be taught

To be set free I need to find myself

So easy to say but that’s a fight in itself
’Cos in this maze, it’s easy to lose your path

And to find it again is arduous and almost unachievable

I’m afraid I might never get there
I take a step back and stare
Who I was and who I’ve become
I need to get out of here
