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
