I know that tonight-
sleep will not come easy
my mind is too full
of darkness, of thoughts
of words left unsaid
of scenarios to plan
but never follow through with
tonight, sleep will not come easy
and I will be sad when I wake.

I was okay for so long
I should've known it would go wrong

I keep saying it will be okay
cause you are everything I need these days

you say you're a disappointment
when I think you're a treasure

you say you can't handle everything
when I think you already do

you say you're not atlas…
when I think you’re my sky

I look at your face
you hit me with your eyes
and I understand that
it's hard to be

you ask for help
and I waited
for this moment
longer than I could remember
begging to help
someone
who wanted to dive
and drown
ending life

cause I believe
sometimes there are those beautiful things
down in the sea
coral they name
deep down you’ll see

and I believe
you can get lost in their beauty
but if you stay too long
you will drown
before you even feel you’ve gone down

and I believe
that admiring the beauty of the darkness isn't the fall
but touching is, when you lose it all

you say you're weak
when I think you're strong

you say you want love
a reaching hand
when I just hope
mine is enough

and I believe
oh I believe
that
I just need to try
even when
trying feels like drowning tho
Based on the song "You Say" by Lauren Daigle
I know this song is about reaching out to God.
But I just thought....
Sometimes,
we want a person to help us so badly, thinking that person will fix everything. But what if that person is just trying?
Just doing something in the hope it will fix, not knowing what’s right or wrong,
just… trying

I relapsed
again
and I know that's not fair to you
after all
I made you promise
but I did it anyway
just to feel something
even if it was just a sting
just to see something
even if it was just red
I relapsed
I'm sorry

i'm just tired
and I don't want to be
i'm just hurting
and I want to be happy

sometimes
I just want to leave
no note
no warning
no goodbye
just me
gone
cut all ties
start again
with new hellos
just me
gone
