Change

I’m the only one that can change me

that’s probably why I struggle with changing

I see the the first step I need to take

But it honestly feels more like a leap of faith

And how can I make that jump

When I have a mind full of thoughts and

memories to overcome

You see our traumas never leave our head

Even when we’ve left that past for dead

They follow us around talking in our ear

Telling us we will always have our thoughts to fear

That’s just what they want us to think though

Keeping me distracted until I look up from the sink hole

They look down laughing as they count me out

Not realizing I’m not one you should ever doubt

That’s why I’m digging my fingers in the dirt

To get out of this mess I have to put in work

It’s just one of those things that’ll never be easy

I know no matter what these thoughts may never leave me

That’s why I’m suited up for battle

I refuse to fall victim to this idle prattle

If there is one thing I know

This isn’t a fight you can win alone

You see our life is made up of nothing but choices

Just make sure you listening to the right voices

And don’t be afraid to take a helping hand

There are people out there that understand
