Some things have gotten Mush worse since you left Like how I can't stop the Voices in my head anymore My OCD is at its worse I can't stop counting numbers My anxiety won't leave me alone It tells me I shouldn't leave the house My parents wonder why I Don't visit as often My friends wonder why I would Rather stay home than go out My depression says to me "No one loves you" And my body feels like A ******* strangers I either eat too much Or nothing at all I don't sleep for days Or I don't leave the bed for hours But other things in my life Have improved since you've been gone Like I feel like I'm finally with Someone who can be honest with me I can finally write again I can draw I can read I can breathe You taught me how to love myself When you never even loved me You taught me how to respect Myself and live freely You showed me many different Points of view And how to open yourself up To the people who deserve it You taught me I need to respect myself And to not let others dictate How I feel Or how I live my life You taught me a lot Like that I don't need you To survive this life anymore I can walk on my own now Some things in my life feel like They are falling apart And slowly slipping from me Like oiled up hands grasping at the edge of the cliff But some things are slowly falling Back into place And maybe Just maybe I can live this life without you next to me Maybe I will be okay in the end Maybe I can find my way back to the light Just maybe my life can be mine again
