The Things I Know

Things I had once known
Are no longer what they are
And I may have lost myself
But I don’t think I got too far
Tell me who I am
And I’ll show you who I’m not
But what is the truth
I think I forgot
Everything is changing
I guess I’m not so sure
And things I thought would never change
Aren’t what they were before
But things will never stay
I’ve known this all along
And the only time I questioned that
I found that I was wrong
So I take things as they are
And I’ll take things as they go
Because this is who I am
Because this is what I know

The Wheel of Misfortune

Coming to the end
Of another year
The past keeps repeating
And nothing is clear
Where am I going
The future’s uncertain
In a never ending cycle
Of feeling like a burden
I let people come back
Like a revolving door
I already said goodbye
But they’re back once more
Every year I say I’ll change
It’s finally time to grow
But even with good intentions
My actions need to follow
So maybe next year
I’ll put my foot down
And hold my head high
When they come back around
