Fighting the Waves
You oughta know you’re not always right
And I wasn’t always wrong.
You ridiculed, you trashed
You scoffed at all things good.
Into your twisted world,
You led me thru wide-eyed,
Unknowing, blinded.
Then left me broken, dangling on the edge
With no one to put me together again.
Now I no longer know
Who was to blame though yer sure it’s me.
My mind is slipping to meet the shadows
And night is falling far too soon.
Could it really have been all me?
All along I thought I’m good
Not the best and not the worst.
In a world that remains
Such a mystery to me and in the end
There was no place for me.
The softness that I kept so well-hid
You tore at, pried at
Abased, degraded.
I took it God knows why.
But I thought I was so strong
Nothing could touch my soul
Feeling foolish cause I was wrong
You exposed my soft underbelly
And made a mockery of who I am
