Lessons

By Jaidon Carranza

My heart just needs some time

To heal and to rethink

But the reality of the pain

Well it’s either swim or sink

My lungs need time to breath

Because you took my air

You think I can’t see it

But I know you don’t care

My eyes need time to see

The reasons you can’t stay

You aren’t that transparent

And you never know what to say

My hands need to calm down

Shaking like the ground

I just need some time

I really need to rebound

Let’s find something different

Something new instead

I’m tired of these old moves

I’d rather stay in bed

These old roses might be dying

And there’s no more water left

Let’s just buy some new ones

I think it’s for the best

My legs need to learn

To walk away from you

You and I are a dead mission

But my legs wanna stay with you

I just need some time

To remind myself of my worth

I’d rather be first

Than be the third or fourth
