Once there was an innocence behind these hazel eyes,
Now replaced by lessons I too late realized.
When I started thinking with my heart, and not with my own head,
Disaster finally caught up to the place my ways had led.
Now I'm plagued with memories burned into my brain.
So deep the scars, though healed, can still sometimes cause me pain.
Some days I feel fine. I won't let the past drag me down.
Other times it takes all I've got to turn my thoughts around.
Though I thought I burned those bridges, I still have many friends
Willing to walk on planks I know I must have singed.
I feel it so unfair when I still stumble from my ways
Wishing I was perfect, and could make no mistakes.
But I tell myself it's a block, one day that I'll beat
And I can't get over it, if I don't get back on my feet.
