Why have I been fighting you on what to do?
Because I tried it my way, and I burned out
All that was around me was darkness, and yet I still stumbled around like a fool.
Only to see when I came out, you were there with light to guide me in a new way.
And yet, I stubbornly still tried to do it my way.
Only to end up not doing much of anything
And then the light bulb went off, and I realized the things I could do were because they were what you needed me to do.
The only way I could overcome this hurdle was to let you guide me.
So here I am doing what feels right and what you want, and now it’s what I wish for, too. And this way, I will get it all, but only when you say it is due.
