Back Where I Started

Jodie

I was runnin’ far away,
 Wonderin’ if I’ll slip one day,
 Fallin’ fast—will I hit the ground?
 Pulled down,
 Like I’m buried underground,
 While the world keeps spinnin’ ‘round.

I don’t know who I am.
 The light cuts sharp, too bright,
 I’m burning up inside the night.
 Thought I was getting better,
 But I’m back where I started—
 How did I get here?

I am just terrified,
 Feels like a waste of a young heart.
 So tell me,
 Will you hear it stop?
