I Just Needed To Get This Out
Regret has become a vindictive old friend
We’ll go hand and hand until my cold bitter end
And as hard as I try to fake and pretend
These holes in my heart I’ll never fully mend
All these men
They feel free to mistreat my body
In the mirror, I can’t see the carefree girl I used to be
SET ME FREE
LET ME FLEE
TO ESCAPE
TO RELIEVE
I don’t believe I’ll see days
where I’m not bogged down in a haze
I just crave a safe space
Some peace thru this unending pain
Everyday it’s the same
People don’t seem to change
I’m estranged
and deranged
My brain it daily deteriorates
But still, can’t complain
Got a roof when it rains
And the bills they get paid
While single mothers they slave
Slave away, for better days
Can’t even get to a place
to put some savings away
Why this world just breeds hate
They’ll even spit in your face
This human race
I’m displaced
Can’t find a trace
of some kindness or faith
Can I leave? Is this a dream?
OH PLEASE, GOD.
WAKE. ME.
