I was wrong and I can’t believe

That it’s taken me this long

To recognize adversity within me

I have tried to extinguish these demons

What does it take to see the silver lining?

When we live in a world of spite and denomination

I have chosen to see the darkest forms of circumstance

Yet I’m the critic without direction

It’s time to let this go

I’ve stricken down your words

With nothing more than a baseless perspective

And I’m cheating my own mind into believing

Your thoughts are worthless

You don’t deserve this

I thought I’d be your voice of reason

To guide you to a better place

But I cannot dictate your direction

This has killed my way of interconnection

And it’s leaving me in a strain of remorse

That I just can't shake and decide to relegate

I know I need to ease the blame

The time is now, I’ll learn my faults, I need my mind to remember

Rise then fall, it’s been the way that I’ve atrophied

I want to grow and learn my place, devoid of imperfection

Take a look inside

There wasn’t anything that seemed amiss in me

I would just dismiss the force that I portrayed

It was the frailty, I couldn’t see in me

And I was wrong

It was the frailty, I couldn’t see in me
