When I left
"I'll be back"
Said the better part of me
Why couldn't she just stay
Maybe she needed the space
And I was in the way
Someone see me?
I'm all on my own
Someone hear me!
I've cryed out for help but I'm alone
Was it ignoracne...
...or selfishness
I feel broken and I feel less
She said stay here
But I'm running out of air
I hope she knows that as I wait
I suffocate
I look in the mirror and there she is
The sight alone isn't enough to lift
I love her and I though she loved me
But now I realize that it just can't be
I can't be me and have her
Leaving myself is the only right turn
I should not be the one to embody
This shell of a girl I see in the mirror
I've gotta let the past go inorder to see clearer
Let the girl I am go
Improve, and stop playing in this show.
Now soon I'll be able to look into the future
Lay off my past self and quite being a moocher
Be my own person
So my mental heath won't worsen
