Take the Time

Take the time to notice I'm different
I am not that same person I was 6 years ago...
But as much as I prove You can't take a hint

I hurt everyday because I'm sad and empty

I have nightmares that express my cry for help

I am scared to sleep due to how much my depression affects me

I want a good day where you won't cross my mind

I spend times just crying because I'm hurting

I keep all my feelings locked up inside

Keeping the image of you from resurfacing...

I can't move on from all the pain without closure

Your words haunt my thoughts day and night

Each bad memory of you keeps me from getting closer

I need to you to just conclude this fight

Give me my power and strength back

Go and find someone who cares

Because I need time to be alone and adapt

I've held on too long...only because I was scared

I'm done...Now I won't always be there

I'm glad your not with me...

God Bless and take care...
