Tossing and turning, heart aches and burning, why can I not escape this?
Deeply I am cringing, inside I am itching, please free me.
Pushing through pain, waiting for change, facing the truth.
Surrender my smile, become a child, shy away from this fate.
Discover something new, still a bit blue, sitting up straighter.
Falling back down, around around around, this cycle will never end.
