Give it time

Sometimes my ego gets the best of me

Sometimes I look in mirrors and pray they break

So I can put the pieces back together

Even if my hands bleed

Even if it’s bad luck

Every shard is important to me

Every shard contributes to a perfect peace


Sometimes my worries consume me

What if I’m not good enough

What if I’m diluted

Emotions plus indecision

Equals convoluted

But that’s not the solution


Sometimes breathing overwhelms me

So I try to hold my breath

But the fire in my lungs

Lights up my chest

Am I a dragon

Or a martyr

I set myself ablaze

My flames might lick you

It’s best you stay away


Sometimes failure seems inevitable

Is trying justified

Is a liar justified

If he looks you in the eyes

If the eyes are the manifestation of soul

In the 3D

I bet you’d rather I be blind

Than to put you in a bind


Sometimes you gotta give it time

I guess

Sometimes you gotta give time

I guess
