Tired of Being Numb
The time has surely truly come
That I am tired of being numb.
The days of being in constant pain
My life seems to be going down the drain.
I am still quite heartbroken
And some things can't be spoken.
But 5 years have already gone by
And today I heaved a weary sigh.
I can no longer stay this way
Just going through with my day.
I have been on a ledge
Standing there on that edge.
Looking over and down
Upon my face is a frown.
I turn around and then look up
That she is a tough climb, yup.
But I reach up and begin to climb
As I know it has come to that time.
Time to either wither and die
Or time to show life I can defy.
New places are meant for me.
A new woman you shall see.
Oh do not get me wrong
I have days I am not strong.
But I promise to not be so withdrawn
As I know my life is not foregone.
I want to be someone my kids can be proud of
Someone they know that will always give love.
For them being gone was never my choice
That in this instance my opinion had no voice.
But one day soon they will come to find me
I want it to be day of great joy and glee.
For they will see that pain did bring me to my knees
But that I got up and moved and refused to freeze.
I did not die from all this pain
But one day will I be able reign?
Who is to really know?
Just cannot stand another woe.
