We jumped in head first We jumped in without dipping our toes to test the waters We jumped in with our hearts and not our brains It was refreshing It was blissful It was an imagination Until our brains came to speed Bringing all fears and insecurities with it We had to hold the breaks Because we didn't know what to listen to The bliss turned to a battle field A battle that couldn't be won with thought Because thought was fighting against us A battle that meant protect ourselves A battle that brought past events Past hurts And we had to oblige Because the fear and paranoia was too strong to handle We had to let go And wish for better days When our thought will be for us and not against us.
