Change

I need some time alone
To fix this sodden mess
To reverse all of these tragedies
Find a good way to confess
To lead me to my freedom
To retire from head villainess
To not come home defeated
Stop wanting to possess

And now I think,
Oh what's the point?
To try and come back strong
After all of these mistakes
The shame will stay too long
Guilt prickles at my ankles,
Envy worms it's way back inside
My tears come spilling out
And now I just want to hide
