Just think it away, take some deep breaths
That’s what they’ve tried to tell me
Here, just take these pills, use this oil
These things, they’ve tried to sell me
Feel like I could sleep all day
I don’t remember to drink or eat
It’s easier to give in than fight
But I’m not ready to admit defeat
I try to keep on going
My normal, happy me
I try to be positive and upbeat
It’s what people expect to see
They don’t accept the ugly
It’s hard to hear the truth
But life isn’t pretty all the time
I’m living, breathing proof
I’ve got to get to healing
I know I’ve still got dreams
It has gotten dark sometimes
But it can’t be as dark as it seems
