How Long
How long does it take until someone finds themselves lying awake at night, wondering if tomorrow is going to be the day, where they just give up and try to take it all away? Thinking only about the bad things and none of the good. Wondering if they are going to come back or if they are really going to go. They are scared out of their mind, but peaceful with their heart. All that they want is a new place to start. Someone please, give me an answer. How long will it take before they truly want to give it all away? How long?
