Trepidation from Metanoia by StillBreather

A weight on my shoulders
Unfamiliar in nature
Familiar by circumstance
Paralyzed by this feeling
Every word feels out of turn

Time passing by in a measure of days
Hours of an empty mind
My chest feels tight
I wish to break the cycle every time

I think about someday
I think about you and me
When I think about someday
I think about you and me

This is how life should be
One day I hope that I find peace
Stare back in the mirror
Revert my eyes when I see me

I pray that you see me
Why is no one listening?

A moment of weakness
No comfort
A blank stare
No focus
No rest for my tired eyes
My cries out of sight
Out of mind

A moment of weakness
No comfort
A blank stare
No focus
No rest for my tired eyes
My cries out of sight
Out of mind

Wandering this world alone
My greatest fear
A knock but no one’s home
Surrounded by no one
Weighed down by my heart of stone

I dream of what life should be
Step by step until I find peace
Until I can look in the mirror
And be pleased when I see me
