Undertow

What can I do
To get through
To who I used to be
And sound the all clear
And steer away
From the cacophony
I don't want to waste another moment
Spending my life this way
What can I do
To break through this disarray
I couldn't have known
It was just so long ago
And although I've grown
I'm still caught up in the undertow
The circle still turns
As it burns
Another piece of me
But I'm starting to learn
To turn my back
On the absurdity
Once upon a time there was a reason
For this anxiety
But that time is done
I can't let it keep on haunting me
It's time I move on
Though I'm not sure where I might go
Let bygones be gone
And escape this undertow
It's so hard to leave it, but I know that's what I've got to do
To dig myself out from under my past
It's all so familiar, but it's time that I try something new
Cause if I stay there's no way to say how long I will last
What can I do
To get through
To who I used to be
And sound the all clear
And steer away
From the cacophony
Once upon a time there was a reason
For this anxiety
But that time is done
I can't let it keep on haunting me
I couldn't have known
It was just so long ago
And although I've grown
I'm still caught up in the undertow
It's time I move on
Though I'm not sure where I might go
Let bygones be gone
And escape this undertow

Brianna's Song

Kindred soul brightens up everyday
Close at heart even though you’re far away
Always understanding when nobody else can
I will always be your biggest fan
Best of friends from a dubious start
And now nothing could pull us apart
I will stick with you when it feels like no one’s going to
Reassure you that you'll always pull through
We know each other so well
Though it hasn’t been long
Enough to understand the things
we each keep getting wrong
A work of art both inside and out
Heart of gold that I’ve learned not to doubt
Always looking after me when no one else is there
Reminding me just how much that you care
You stabilize me when life keeps
On going sideways
Pull me out of the darkness
On my bad brain days
So much in common for better and for worse
Means all the more appreciation
For all the joy and pain we each have to traverse
A foundation carved in stone
A bond to that’s only grown
We’ve just begun, but I’m already sure
This connection we’ve found will endure
You’ll be stuck with me for a while and I’ll be there for you
I can’t wait to see what will ensue
You've come to mean so much to me
In such a short time
Enough to be the reason for
This rhyme

Falling

When the light slips out before
You realize that it's left you
Falling through the dark
Where will you land
Can you withstand the gravity
Pulling you down
Into a place you know too well
You've found yourself here many times before
But for how long
No telling you'll just have to wait and see
Though you fear you’ll fall
Much deeper than have in the past
And you won't return
You'll make your way
Back to the light eventually
Just keep moving
It may seem like there's no point
In even bothering to bother anymore
But don't lose sight
Of all the things that keep you holding on
And soon enough this all will simply be
Another memory
To guide you through the next time
That you find yourself beck here
