It isn't easy.. living with the painful memories of the past.
I try to lock them up and hide them away,
But the memories just keep coming back.
No matter how hard I try,
They find me and torment me even more.

He wants to help me through it all,
But doesn't know how to..
He doesn't know where to begin..
And I don't know how to open up to him..

I want to, but I'm still afraid to..
I'm afraid he'll turn around and walk out on me..
But he tells me all the time: 'I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere!'

How do I tell him?
That I've been fighting with my PTSD?
I've been trying to deal with my anxiety
And get rid of my depression..
Not to mention the insomnia that tries to see me every now and then..
To steal what little bit of peace I had away from me

How do I tell him that I don't think I'm okay?
That I've been stuck in my head again?
I've been trapped here for a while now..
But this time, I don't think I'll ever get out.
