Circles

Everything I built is gone
Taken by the flames and turned into dust
I don't feel reborn
Though I shook the ashes off there's still self-distrust
Can I start again?
Leaning on the hope hanging by a thread
But I'm so afraid
Of another story coming to an end
Was that me who caused destruction
Of my own small world?
Torn apart it lay in pieces
Could I let it burn?
Life seems so unjust
Pushing me around like an air balloon
Giving me the signs
That if I have a plan I should follow through
I was not prepared
To have frustration hit me in the face
But I'm now aware
That failing only once doesn't mean disgrace
Was that me who caused destruction
Of my own small world?
Torn apart it lay in pieces
Could I let it burn?
I went in the wrong direction
It took me way too long
I was looking for perfection
That would never show
I got so tired of falling into pieces
Broken and shattered, I've fallen into pieces
When it all went crumbling before my eyes
I turned around pretending that it's not too late
To make mistakes, I'll come full circle and will run
Into myself to start all over and over again
