Restless Heart - Calming Seas

Restless Heart – Calming Seas

 

I lived my life in the fast lane more than once

The reasons for such wildness was never a question of sanity or anger

But rather it was a moment of calmness that the rough seas brought to my heart

Because when nothing goes right, a restless heart seeks to find a calming sea

 

I had been told by many that it would be the cause for my demise

Living like a masochist, they said it would eventually take my life

Why couldn’t I be like the rest of men, who walked the calming seas

Instead of finding a way to ride the highest waves brought on by these dreams

 

A rebel heart inside me took me to the highest summits of my life

It gave me visions of hope, desire and passion that I wanted to be a part of me

I belonged to the wildness in this world, I passed on the calming seas

It seemed that walking on the wild side of life was the life that satisfied me

 

Living with this kind of acceptancy, it took me on the rebel side of me

It made me feel that it was part of my destiny, leaving me never satisfied

I took the high road more often than the dark road but it barely kept me alive

You might say that making bad choices is what kept me the will to survive

 

The depth of my heart, the strength of my soul was what kept me going strong

Even though at times, my heart knew what I was doing was wrong

As I aged I shed my skin and outgrew that part of me that caused me pain

So every now and then, I take an opportunity to shed a tear by walking in the rain
