Confide/Supposed to Be

Written in 8th grade.

It feels like just yesterday,

but yesterday feels so far away.

I had my chance I blew it,

and I already knew it

would end like this.

 

I said it just wasn’t the right time,

but the right time never came.

Now I sit here empty-handed,

waiting for my life to begin,

but not like this.

 

He says to just find him here,

and say what’s on my mind.

It’s just been oh so long,

and I just don’t know how

I could end this.

 

Give me the pride to confide in him,

and stop hiding from myself.

I know I really love him,

but once again it just ain’t right.

I could end this.

 

I want to forget everything,

but I want to remember all of it.

I’ve been hiding for far too long,

I don’t even know how to stand up

and say I’m tired of this.

 

I’ve always held on to what wasn’t,

hoped for what would never be.

Maybe I couldn’t end this if I tried.

I just want to look back at you and say,

thank you and goodbye.

 

Hold on to nothing,

let go of it all.

 

Maybe if I stop looking,

I will find it all.

 

Maybe one day I can stand up,

and change this life.

 

Or maybe I’ll see,

this is how it’s supposed

to be.

hmm, i love the way you wrote this piece. the words in parentheses are a nice touch.

i like that part simply because its so true, when i go to say something to someone special, it usually just ends up being for my own sake, and benefits neither of us except for me to just hear their voice. good job here, i love its simplicity with a common message we all can relate. :)
