Let Me Go


I'm sorry, it's just too late for me. I can not hold on any longer.

On second thought, I am not sorry, not to all of you at least.

There are reasons why I have to go, some of you know, others just don't care. 

I would like to stay, but no not really. 

Life is not as glamorous as they make it seem.

I can not pretend to be as happy as they want anymore.

I don't think my smile passes for real anymore.

Tell me again how sorry you are.

I'm sure from where I am I will hear how false all your

"We send our prayers" are

It is time to go

Now I am ready

I have let go

It's time you let me go
