Overcoming

Lying awake, relive the mistake and never forget the pain,
The ghosts in your head, won't leave 'til you're dead, happy to drive you insane,
They'll pick and they'll poke, each word that you spoke, until there's nothing but pieces,
Unable to mend, what refuses to bend, for hope is found in the creases.

Brain clings to ration, heart, to it's passion, insanity wrapped in skin,
You'll fight and you'll claw, at times you'll withdraw, hiding what you dread will win,
Uncertainty, fear, the things that appear, when you face up to moving on,
Being alone, lost on your own, all you once knew, now gone.

Bitterness wrapped, tenderness trapped, while time sinks like the sun,
Hope waits to rise, sever the ties, of all you won't let come undone,
Let go of regret, the feeling you get, when you're thinking of things as wasted,
Love is a treasure, an emotional measure, we're lucky if we have tasted
