Keeping The Faith

Chased too many fragile, delicate dreams
Seen them fail, then fall apart at the seams
Acquaintances come and then they go
Never been sure who's a friend or a foe

Planted seeds at all the wrong times
Never could see all the warning signs
Never knew what was best for me
When to dabble or just let it be

Too many years flailing against the ropes
Now I've got a foot-hold on life's slippery slopes
Forgiven many sins and enemies pardoned
Thickened skin and sensitivities hardened

Socially awkward feelings are going
Confidence is growing, I'm now more knowing
When to leave and when to stay
Keeping the faith it will stay this way
