Slowly but Surely

Slowly but surely
I am finding my way

Slowly but surely
I'm getting it all together

Slowly but surely
I'm recognizing little bits
that were hidden lost under
the suppose to's the have to's the shouldn'ts

slowly but surely
I'm recovering pieces lost
buried to please others
breaking off to fit
the standard mold
removing all jagged lines

Slowly but surely
The little bits are starting to shine
The lost pieces have been returned to owner
The smooth empty shell roughed to it's vintage glory

Slowly but surely
the cares of others fall away
as they are replaced with wants and desires
from a voice within that was once
silent and now screams
GET IT TOGETHER
stop whining
stop hiding
stop doubting
stop crying
stop worrying

Slowly but surely
plans are forming action begins
as I realize My life is moving
as I sit here and debate
as I sit here putting others first
As I sit here hiding behind these words
As I sit here watching others do
As I sit here being nothing

Slowly but Surely
I began to move keeping moving
no looking back
Slowly but Surely

tick tick tick...

tick tick tick
tick tick tick
I hear the clock
each second marks
another moment wasted
tick tick tick
tick tick tick
the clock keeps moving
yet I sit here frozen to the couch
covered afraid to even move to the bed
tick tick tick
tick tick tick
I don't what I should do
can't focus on any one thing
all these ideas yet I sit on facebook
tick tick tick
tick tick tick
While I sit watching tv
singing along to the themes
wondering who's that girl
tick tick tick
tick tick tick
I watch other people act
out there dreams go after their goals
have the motivation to achieve it all
tick tick tick
tick tick tick
yet here I sit envying others lives
but doing nothing with my own
but watching and listening to the
tick tick tick...
