It Found Me
It found me. I was searching high and low for it.
Looking to left, looking to right for it.
Up and down, corner to corner for it.
I thought it didn’t want me around,
I thought it didn’t care for me,
I figured it wanted me out of the picture.
...But it found me.
I had high hopes for finding it myself.
I ended up finding was loneliness, disappointment,
Anxiety, sadness, and hatred.
It ran from me.
Every time I was so close to grabbing it,
It slipped away from my hands.
Simply teasing me, making me angrier.
I liked the chase some days,
But on others I wanted to hide in the shadows.
Of those who were losing at life to give myself more hope,
Hope that I was gonna use as ammunition.
But instead I became more crushed,
Sinking into more doubts and more lies.
I accepted those lies, understanding them,
Wanting them, drinking them.
I basically drowned in them, someone could say.
I wanted an exit out 'cause I knew one day I’d pay.
But all that is in the past.
It finally found me. It found me through time.
It found me through smiles, through hugs,
Through close friends and family.
It found me through kindness and the one who made Earth.
Life found me. It’s about time;
But then whatever- better late than never.
