🎵I Don't Know 🎵

(Verse 1)

How do you change past mistakes, erase the lines?

How do you take away the wrongs, unwind the vines?

How long will shadows cling, a judgment dark and deep?

For missteps in the past, the promises I couldn’t keep.

(Verse 2)

Positive precepts, lessons left unlearned,

A stubborn path I walked, a different corner I turned.

Discipline’s embrace, a comfort I denied,

Leaving me emotionally battered, with nowhere left to hide.

(Verse 3)

I never refused the good, the righteous, and the true,

Just didn’t bring the sunshine, the light to shine anew.

But now I rise, transformed, a spirit taking flight,

Spilling positive rhymes, bathed in hopeful light.

(Verse 4)

How does a person mend the wounds they didn’t see?

Emotional crimes inflicted, unintentionally, maybe.

Nothing against the law, no charges I must face,

Just actions, words, and choices leaving a bitter trace.

(Verse 5)

Things that I know people saw as wrong and out of line,

A fractured understanding, a truth that wasn’t mine.

Have bridges burned too brightly, leaving ash and smoke?

Have relationships been broken long, beyond repair to invoke?

(Outro)

I don’t know, I don’t know, the answer I seek with dread,

But hope remains a flicker, a seed within my head.

To try and make amends, to heal and to restore,

To build a brighter future, and ask for nothing more.
