Time for change

 I wasn't me, I wasn't happy

I was drowning, just getting by 

I didn't see this truth until I was told that what I thought didn't matter, that my voice was not to be heard, and that's when the inner me screamed.

I've had a year of insight and growth 

Time to heal and find me again

But now all I see is how lost the rest of your are

Where is your joie de vivre

You inner sunshine

Your grateful to be alive

Now we're all just negative and cold

Slogging through the same mud but not seeing anyone else

It took me a year to see how dark my lenses were

No longer rosey, not even clear, 

Dark, jaded, twisted, tainted.

We do so well, shoving it down, 

Letting the tidal wave that is bad news push us ever forward

But always down, to a dark and scary place

But this doesn't have to be the end, maybe you'll crack too 

And one day you'll say enough is enough

And you'll see the sun again
