Its been some time since I've had a good cry,

And tears have seized their way down my face,

Its been some time since I've felt like I might die,

And my voice breaks when I'm given the space,


So even though my face is puffy and worn out,

Even though I might fall and not be caught,

Tell me, please tell me why I doubt,

That despite not having acted out,

I was never really, of the hole, pulled out,


Because the too familiar routine,

Welcomes me with open arms,

Blind to my struggles to get clean,

And lures me in with false charms,


Because while sadness hugs you,

And can make itself seen,

Happiness hides in the blue,

And'll make you feel thirteen,


That's when you realize,

Just how long its been,

Since you've let out laughter cries,

And your dimples be seen,

That's when you cry some more,

Because you fear never again,

Will you not be in war,

And have someone to adore.
