You changed they said
She changed they discussed
Change back they said
But...but...you told me to change

I laughed loud and you frowned
I dressed up and you judged
I was a kid but you showed no mercy
A slow virus spread inside of me

Your words cut me like knives
My heart cracked with each word
A new feeling erupted
What did people call it ?
Hurt
It pained and there was no switch

And then I ended up with a doctor
My mom worried by my thoughts
Their words shouldn't bother you the doctor said
But wasn't his job to do say these words?
I didn't believe him
Are you smart? he asked.
Yes I lied to satisfy my mom
I could do better
I should do better
Some things you can't control he said
But I can escape I thought
Because my voice had failed me
I left with no change

I had changed and I didn't mind
The people had hurt me when I was myself
And now the old me was somewhere
Lost in the sea of darkness

I cry because I can't be happy
I cry because sometimes I need it
Why do I need it now ?
I never needed it before
but I need it now
I need sleep to keep me away
I need distractions
My thoughts are my enemy and I their sole victim

I'm okay
I'm going to be okay when I'm away
You are not good for me anymore
I'm sorry but I need to stay away
Please let me go
Please forget me
I'm sorry but my time is up

No more heartbreak
No more pain
I'm mentally exhausted
I need a break

I hope to see you when the sun shines again
I hope I'll be able to see you again
I know you cared but now I'm shattered
I'm sorry but this is the end for now
A story to be left to be continued

Drapetomania: an overwhelming urge to runaway

We all change and you have to remember that you should only changed when you want to . Don't let people tell you what do because people are never satisfied . I'll tell you something the people you love are the ones who can hurt you the most because their opinion matter . I know it can be hard but sometimes people don't realize what they are saying .

Stay strong because I know you are stronger than all your problems.

Lastly, I just wanted to say Thank you @MissFischer98 once again for this beautiful cover. I will cherish it forever.👇👇

See you all soon
