Letting Go

It's so hard to let go.
Thinking brings me back.
To a time when I seemed 
careless.
It brings me back.
To a time when I was restless.
Time takes me back.

When I think back I drift away.
It's hard letting go.
My life seemed so simple.
Now it's chains and hate.
When I drift away I think back.
I can't let it go.
Things aren't so simple.
Now things aren't so great.

I wish I could go back.
There are so many things I'd 
change.
So many things I want to 
relive.
I want things carefree.
I don't want things to feel 
strange.
Is this who I'm suppose to be?
Why am I so deranged?
