Ever felt like you were making a mistake?
Tried to slow things down, but your foot slipped off the brake
Maybe i forgot everything that was at stake
Maybe i been too real to where i lost sight of those fake
And i've given so much that i don't know when to take
It'll never happen again at least for my sake
But i was never the type
To complain about life
Used to stay up until daylight
On those lonely contemplative nights
Sitting and wondering if second chances were real
Regretting all the times i kept my lips sealed
But now i block it all out with impenetrable shields
Now im rounding third and all eyes are on the field
Just trying to make it home to find the person inside
They say keep your eyes open well mines are pretty wide
Foot almost to the plate as i make my final stride
"Out" i wish you could come along for the ride
I love the driving as well as the baseball metaphors. My favorite line is "Just trying to make it home to find the person inside." So beautiful and real. I am thrilled that you have started a blog for your writing. I have signed up to follow you. This made my day!
