Once in a while It can get hard to smile Every once in a while It can get hard to breath Every once in a while It can be easy to think about giving up Every once in a while You just want to be free Free from the weight Free from the pain Free from the guilt Freedom from the shame Every once in a while You have to take time for yourself And to just let it all go Let go of the hurt The pain The shame And the guilt And just live day by day Trying to become a slightly better person Than you were the day before
