fly away

i never used to be this girl.

I feel like a part of me has been taken from this world.

i'll never get it back.

i'll never get this person back.

every day is just another disease.

another thing will end up plaguing me.

-when will i grow out of this.

i can't give people something to miss.

 

sometimes i feel like i can fly.

but sometimes i feel so low i can't even see the sky.

sometimes i can feel the heat from the sun.

sometimes i know it's there but i hide away until the monsters have gone.

and i can't stay like this.

but i don't know how to change it.

 

my hands and knees have met the ground.

from the highest ledge i've tumbled right down.

all i want is to feel like there's something i don't do wrong.

something that i can feel proud to have overcome.

 

nothing seems to line up quite right.

i just want something consistent that can help me sleep at night.

all these things that make me feel anything but alright, should fly away.

can i just escape this, and fly away.
