Counting Down

Counting down the numbers just to pass time

Afraid to do anything because it usually gets in your way

Avoiding all that's strange

Barely letting the ones that are close to you know what you really want to say

Fears within as failure takes my mind so low

The hate to be nothing more than just missing it by a inch or more

I Rather hold back my ideas

Keeping answers to myself

Secrets that make my life different from anyone else

Holding back is just my way to know the next day will be the same

I tooken steps knowing the outcome I would get

The only things I regret

I won't follow a path that's been set

My life is mine to lead and believe

I might be counting but I still have eyes that see

As long as my heart beats I will be me

Day to night learning from my own mistakes

I now know my steps can be made in any direction I choose to take

Only a few could actually relate

To a path that goes both ways

Having a mind that creates

Will give you options some people can't figure out that they keep going the same path that always breaks

Every step you take could change everything

Just knowing when to take a step or just wait

Even if it's a step back from taking on something you can't shake

It might seem like running away but I know the outcome will always be the same

I count down for a reason I can't say

I hold answers just because it's your life and im no body to tell you to change

Figuring out your own way through life by being a person you portray

Now you see why I act this way

Counting down the steps I take to help the mind create

I might hate

I might be afraid

But I know my steps will always keep me safe

To a path I lead

To a path I believe

The weakness you seen are actually my strength

As time will always be a factor to your journey you set your feet

Focusing on the numbers that you only know what it means

The journey that you are always making choices base on what you dream

Counting down the next thing that makes life interesting

A chance to breathe

A spot you will only be

Because counting down helps me more reasons than you can think

Or is it a allusion my mind gave me

Knowing I won't tell you anything

Just counting down helps me keep peace on what I know remains
