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
