Somewhere
Somewhere–
between making friends
And losing them,
we chose ourselves
Somewhere–
between not being enough
And knowing your worth,
we tasted freedom
Somewhere–
between drunk stories
And bad decisions,
we learned lessons
Somewhere–
between love
And lust,
we tried to fill a void
Somewhere–
between always
And forever,
we backstabbed
Somewhere–
between tomorrow
And maybe never,
we paused a moment
Somewhere–
between making promises
And keeping them,
we made priorities
Somewhere–
between the pretentious curve
And hidden tears,
we moved on
Somewhere–
between faith
And betrayal,
we kindled hope

Somewhere–
between being there for
And cowardice,
we made excuses
Somewhere–
between the crazy fun
And lonely nights,
we craved for meaning
Somewhere–
between desperation
And willingness,
we lost respect
Somewhere–
between morality
And hypocrisy,
we manipulated
Somewhere–
between finding peace
And seeking vengeance,
we tried to heal
Somewhere–
between making memories
And forgiveness,
we endured pain
Somewhere–
between letting go
And holding on,
we sought courage
Somewhere–
between silence
And arguments,
we lost strength
Somewhere–
between criticisms
And judgements,
we realized we were no better
And somewhere….somewhere –
between the daunting past
And growing up,
we searched for the silver lining.
