Realization

when do you realize the ground is so hard hitting it will break your bone
when do you realize the world is so big and you're just not the one

when do you realize nothing that exists here is not your choice
when do you realize the day you've been waiting to arrive is past and you didn't rejoice

when do you realize there's not a place on earth with enough love to fill your heart
when do you realize it's all a game and you did not live in it to play a part

when do you realize those blues eyes are just to look at from distance
when do you realize you're the one you once looked at with disgrace

when do you realize you're not the one that has a single thing in control
living in a shell too hard to break, too afraid to break it, too afraid to face the world
