Content from Chapters by Artisan

I've buried myself beneath my thoughts.
Forcing myself to be content with everything that I'm not.

A portrait I painted,
And left my mind trapped within the frame.
Hiding behind the glass to hold back the rain.
Avoiding every gaze, like the sun shining in my face.
I chose to turn my back, to lock myself up in this place.

And I led myself here.

I let myself become the lone wolf.

And every time I pushed away,
I sank deeper into my grave.
I keep digging in my heels.
I can't make any progress this way.

I keep on digging deeper,
to try to find another way out
from the other side.

I can't carry this dead weight.
I'm falling out. I'm fading.

I can't stay.
Can't stay and waste away.
I won't let.
Won't let what's left decay.

Change of focus, change of mind.
I'm not giving up, I'm just biding my time.

I need to walk away from this,
to break away from what I've become.
Instead of waiting for the chains to rust,
I'll be the one to pick myself back up.

I will keep pushing onward,
To find my way to the other side.
There is a lesson in all of this.
I need to find a way to make things right.
