"FROM THE START"

 "FROM THE START"

Picking up debris

Wreck of a disaster

Foundations left behind

Am I really here once more

Place I swore I'd never return

Same place different year

Promises that fell through

Believing fairy tales

Aging like wine we thought

Better with the years

But here we are again

Caught in fiction's snare

Certainly not fact

Living in a lie

An anomaly I am

Back where I began

Hoped to see the sun

Through the stormy mist

But the storm's here to stay

Foundations won’t shift

Certainly not fact

Living in a lie

An anomaly I am

Back where I began

Cycle never ending

Truths we set aside

Keep on pretending

There's no place to hide

Caught in the grind

Dreams and hope unwind
