In This Lifetime

I know this place

I've been lost here before

How much of this life is already decided?

How much do we own?

When there's comfort in a heartbeat

and find someone called home

There's life between the pauses

there's beauty in loss we can't see

I tried to bury the maps written by stars

covered in dust from lifetimes ago

but what's meant to be will be

and there's comfort in knowing we're never alone

sometimes I feel so empty handed

trying not to take this life for granted

trying so hard

and sometimes it's harder to speak into reality

hoping maybe it's all a dream

or maybe it's just me

lost in another lifetime looking for signs

I'm trying to get used to change

a test of strength and humility

but at some point it all goes away

and we're left more confused than ever before

fighting not to let the world change us

holding tight to our heart half torn

I guess the test is to stay true

through the painful bumps and bruises

radiate your light through the dark

and use this life to find the ones looking for you

who knew you in all these lifetimes and the next

the ones we never truly lose

Love Always,

Lainey
