I just Need a bit of separation. I’m Self-indulgent, so they say. Take a hard look and Watch the light Arise In me. Though I’m far Too tired To breathe.

You don’t look back on the things you did, So I won’t Take the guilt and blame for it. Take another look around. I’m a cliff against the waves. Why can’t you see This world wears me away? It drains all from me And leaves me colored grey. I’ve been numb lately. Past the point of praying, I’m laying alone.

Take a look back at all the things we did, the things we lived, when the world was still new and mysterious. I reminisce of all the days gone by, The wasted time, When we were all young and resilient.

But as the clock ticks We’re all getting older. Our passions reduced to a smolder.

I’m ready to live again. I’m done wasting time. I’m willing to make amends, And forgive myself For days in bed and sleepless nights That I spent, lifeless. I’m taking steps to fix my life. I’ve changed. I promise.
