on my own

Time cannot measure a life
Never answers the ‘whys’
Only questions..
Now when I think of today
I guess it all seems ok
As time taught me lessons

To love for I’ve found
And never look down
Though sometimes I fail to remember..

I get angry now and then when I forget myself
I get frightened when I think of me as someone else
Innocence is still within
Evergreen but overgrown
It only happens when I’m here on my own

Here on this island alone
In an ocean I know
I feel like a castaway
So do I sink, do I swim?
Can I fight it within?
The strength that will teach me how

Time passes by without letting you know!
Yesterday doesn’t seem so long ago
And I fear!,,

I fear the unknown
When I’m here on my own..
