I need to get away, find a better sense of time,

I need to get away, find a better sense of self,

I need to get away, whilst my life is still in its prime,

I need to get away, for the sake of my mental health,

I need to find a new outlook on life,

To combat all in my day-to-day which causes strife,

I need to help myself some way, some how,

All it takes is elbow grease and sweat I wipe from my brow,

Maybe I'll be spending my whole life chasing happiness that can never be mine,

And maybe I won't ever live up to all I was supposed to be,

But maybe that's okay, and maybe it's enough to simply say I'm fine,

That my own happiness and well-being is enough for now, is enough for me.
