Been walking down this forest

Seems like it’s been an eternity

Since I’ve seen daylight

Not sure how I feel

About keeping these emotions inside

While I know that you’re willing to listen

I know you’re too busy helping others in need

We both know

There’s nothing here for me

I’m moving on to the next chapter

And see where the broken road takes me

Some things in the past

Are better left unsaid

But before I go

I pray that you will hear my request

Forgive me

For being a burden to my loved ones

I never wanted these scars to stick around

These tears running down my face

Show something more than just pain

I’m no saint but I pray

That they don’t face the same curse

I’ve been facing

This battle has gone on for too long

But I’d keep going

If it destroyed these chains

And let them forget the pain
