You've Taught Me

This is how I felt, and feel, while learning who I really am, and how I felt towards those who help me figure it all out.

Mind over matter

Life over doubt

Helping a dream shatter

And helping spiral out

Waking me with ease

And not letting me fall

I've risen from my knees

But I'm not standing at all

I'm confused and lost

Yet I'm thinking straight

Everything comes at a cost

And it'll be worth the wait

I've opened one eye

And the other stays shut

I need to just get by

Now that I'm out of the rut

Some don't get it

And some never will

It's not just a hit

But an everlasting thrill

When you're out of the box

But inside the lines

You can't turn back clocks

But you can take your time

I can't turn back

And I can't turn around

I'm not under attack

But I'm not safe and sound

I'm doing my best

As fast as I can

Not acting like the rest

But I'm still just a fan

You've all taught me so well

And I'm thankful, indeed

But above all, I'll tell

It's love, I still need
